Centennial Fund
Imagine a community where...
Every child receives a high-quality education from cradle to career, every adult has the opportunity to thrive financially and in the workplace and every older person can retire and age with dignity and independence.
You can make this a reality and shape the future of Tucson and Southern Arizona.
As United Way approaches its 100th anniversary in 2022 the Centennial Endowment Fund has been established, with the goal of reaching a $25 million endowment by our centennial celebration to sustain United Way’s collective impact fund through the next 100 years.
A $25 million endowment, paying a return of 5% annually, will ensure that vital programs serving our community are sustained, operational needs are met and our community is poised to grow and thrive with its changing needs.
“Claude and I believe in the future of this community. By investing in United Way’s Centennial Fund we know we’re playing a part in laying the foundation for supportive programs that will reap dividends long into the future. Our community is our legacy, and we are proud to do our part to make Southern Arizona strong and healthy for generations to come.” - Catherine and Claude Merrill, Centennial Fund Donors
