Palmetto Society

Palmetto Society members share a spirit of caring, a passion for giving generously, and a desire to make a real difference in the lives of people in need in our community.

Each year the Palmetto Society grows with an understanding that a leadership gift to Trident United Way is an investment resulting in measurable impact on key community issues. We invest in Trident United because of its strategic vision, and its ability to bring community and business leaders to the table to create smart solutions.

With more than 1,900 Palmetto Society members contributing more than $3 million, we are dedicated to making our community a better place. We hope you will continue to join us as champions of positive change.
 
Palmetto Society members donate $1,000 or more annually to Trident United Way. Within the Society, there are three levels of membership: President's Circle $5,000-$9,999; Executive's Circle $2,500-$4,999; Director's Circle $1,000-$2,499.
