Brown County United Way is audited annually by Schenck Business Solutions
 
Founded in 1925, the Brown County United Way is the single largest fund raising organization in Brown County.  As a private, nonprofit corporation, the BCUW raises funds through its annual workplace campaign, corporate sponsorship, foundations, grants, and major gifts.
With the help of more than 100 community volunteers, the Brown County United Way is dedicated to finding solutions to the community's most pressing human services issues.
The Brown County United Way has added e-giving to its host of online services. This easy-to-use "click-and-give" feature is currently for donors with credit cards only, but electronic checks and PayPal will be added as methods of payment in the future.
To use the service, simply click on the GIVE portal below and enter your donation. All information entered is secure and confidential.
You can also give to your community at any time by clicking on the GIVE portal icon located on the Brown County United Way website.
This new e-giving service is hosted by United eWay, an affiliate organization of United Way of America. A minimum donation is $10 is required, and all donations are subject to a standard 2.25% credit card transaction processing surcharge. A $1.50 service fee per transaction is also charged, which goes to fund United eWay online security and maintenance fees.
 
More than 25 attend first Community Engagement Session
The connection often seems tenuous. A quarterly meeting to discuss your student's grades. The occasional social 'hello' at a ball game, forensics meet or maybe a school play. One teacher talking with one parent. Voices in the wilderness, it might seem, if you're interested in making a district-wide change.
And this is even more true when it comes to human care and social services. Many, many disparate agencies house so many more programs, which can pose a daunting wall between even the best-informed parent and the capacity to make a difference. Simply finding an appropriate program for your child can be a challenge unto itself. Actively changing your community's services for the better might seem a prospect best left to dreamers. Pie in the sky provides a very poor dinner, as it were.
Which is why staff from the Brown County United Way and the Green Bay Public Schools have invited the Brown County community to participate in three discussions, called Community
Engagement Sessions, for the express purpose of actualizing what parents see as a better tomorrow for their children and grandchildren.
These events are aimed at bringing parents together with teachers, school administrators and social service providers. They are a foundation for the action-minded to have an impact; not so much a group hug as a sort of community handshake. And, by all accounts, they are working.
The first Community Engagement Session was held March 28 at the Multicultural Community Center in Green Bay. Moderated by BCUW President and CEO Toni Loch and Superintendent of Green Bay Area Schools Dan Nerad, more than 25 attended the event, which formally ran for an hour and a half, but discussions lasted well into the evening afterward.
