Affinity Groups
• Affinity Groups are the primary way that we engage with our donors beyond workplace campaigns.
• The purpose of the Groups is to connect donors with each other, with issues that matter, with their community and with United Way.
• Information about the Groups and their Initiatives is available on our website: http://www.uwcnm.org/get-involved/affinity-groups
Ambassadors Program
Rural County CommitteesUWCNM represents the counties of Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance and Valencia: http://www.uwcnm.org/our-work/rural-counties
Rural County Committees serve three primary purposes:
1. Support new or help improve workplace campaigns or individual donor giving.
2. Provide information vital to the work of the UWCNM, its programs and initiatives like 211 and Mission: Graduate.
3. Help UWCNM work with area agencies to identify key needs of residents and gaps in services.
