To designate a pledge to a United Way Agency Partner, CHC: Creating Healthier Communities, or a popular agency that is not affiliated with the United Way, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Locate An Agency.
Select a list to choose the preferred nonprofit.
Agency lists are sorted alphabetically.
Click Select on the preferred organization, and the profile will be sorted to the top of the designation page.

Enter as much information about the preferred organization as possible. United Way's Pledge Processing Department will vet the organization provided to process the payment. If the pledge cannot be directed to the Write-In agency, United Way will contact the donor directly.
