SPONSORSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES
United Way of Florence County offers a variety of sponsorship opportunities that directly support the programs, events, and services strengthening our community every day. Each of our initiatives, from essential services like 211 and ALICE data research to large-scale volunteer events and annual celebrations, plays a unique role in improving lives across Florence County.
By sponsoring one of these efforts, you help ensure we can continue meeting local needs, empowering families, and supporting the nonprofit network that serves our neighbors. Whether you’re an individual, business, or community group, your sponsorship makes a meaningful difference right where you live and work.
211 is a vital service funded by local United Ways and maintained by the SC United Way State Association. Every day, individuals in Florence County contact 211 to get connected to a wealth of resources in our community that help with a wide range of needs. This service is free, confidential, and always available to those in need.
In addition to providing support for those in need, 211 allows United Way to identify service gaps, unmet needs, underserved populations, and common determinants that often lead to a crisis.
Sponsorship funds for this service help offset maintenance costs for the 211 database, which are $22,800/year.
United Way of Florence County's Barriers to Employment program is intended to provide Florence County
residents with tools, supplies, and other resources needed to help them along the path to long-term
financial stability. The program provides one-time, short-term assistance to individuals who have
documented job offers but need temporary support to begin working.
Sponsorship funds will be used to provide services to Florence County through this program.
Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) represents a significant portion of our population – people who work hard in jobs such as cashiers, childcare providers, and other essential roles. Despite their contributions to our workforce, ALICE individuals earn just above the Federal Poverty Level but fall short of what they need to cover basic needs. ALICE reports, which provide data on national, state, and county levels, are used by United Ways in 31 states. Insights from these reports are shared and used to strengthen programs serving the needs of individuals in Florence County.
Sponsorship funds for this report help offset research costs, which are $1,500/year.
Day of Caring is a day when companies, organizations, individuals, etc. come together to give back and make a difference in our community. United Way of Florence County coordinates a variety of projects for our partner agencies that address needs within their organizations and showcase the services they provide to those in need. This day is also a signal for the start of United Way’s new annual campaign.
