Partners Co-Branding
The partnership between United Way and its nonprofit partners can have powerful marketing and fundraising benefits for all of us.
By actively co-branding with United Way, your visible support, and the visible support of your board and staff members, will heighten the community’s awareness and positive perception of United Way NCA, and increase the power and reach of our network of local charities.
One of the requirements of being a nonprofit partner of United Way NCA is that your organization displays the “Proud Partner of United Way of the National Capital Area” logo (click here to download).
