OCTOBER SPOTLIGHT
UNITED WAY OF WESTCHESTER AND PUTNAM
For the past 52 years, United Way of
Westchester and Putnam has operated with the fundamental belief that
all people deserve a quality education,
enough income to support a family and opportunities for a
healthy lifestyle. United Way works with agency partners,
government, businesses and community leaders to solve
problems that are too complex for any one entity alone.
United Way’s year-round programs and services strengthen the community in the following focus areas: education,
income and health.
United Way’s 2-1-1 of the Hudson Valley region is a free,
confidential, multilingual information and referral helpline,
covering Westchester and Putnam as well as Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Sullivan and Ulster counties. It answers
hundreds of calls and online inquiries per day ranging from
tax, heating and mortgage questions to childcare, basic
needs, natural disaster and crisis calls.
New this year is the United Way Women’s Leadership
Council (WLC). More than four dozen women leaders from
across Westchester and Putnam have made their mark as its
founding members.
Part of a national movement, the WLC mission is to harness women’s leadership and philanthropy to promote fi-

nancial self-sufficiency, education and health among women and their families.
The council engages its members in philanthropy and volunteerism through two compelling United Way initiatives:
“Teach Me to Fish,” which gives underemployed adults job
training, work-skills coaching and professional opportunities, and “SmartStart,” which helps at-risk elementary
school children stay engaged in school through academic
support with a focus on reading.
United Way of Westchester and Putnam is located at
336 Central Park Ave., White Plains, NY 10606 and can be
reached at 914-997-6700 or www.uwwp.org.
United Way of Westchester and Putnam board
members and volunteers had a busy spring
and summer supporting important community
initiatives throughout the county: Women’s
Leadership Council (WLC) members, including Gail Carmody, read to children in Yonkers
on a service day with JCY-Westchester Community Partners. WLC members Heather
Galgan, Amanda Paredes, Janet Belardi and
Swati Goel-Patel attended United Way’s
Leadership Dinner. Alyzza Ozer, Meyer
Koplow and Sascha Rockefeller at the Tocqueville annual reception. Linda Ferone
and Kevin Johnson enjoyed United Way’s
Day of Golf. Leo Cummings (center) of
UPS, joined by Greg Bassuk, 2013-2014 United Way board chairman and Alana Sweeny,
United Way president and CEO, accepted the
Spirit of Westchester and Putnam Corporate
Award at United Way’s 52nd Annual Meeting.

OUR FAMILY OF COMPANIES
We all want a strong return on our investment
and giving to the United Way pays huge
dividends for our community. Its ability to
bring resources together to address complex
community needs translates into more children
who remain in school, graduate and use
their education to work and give back to the
community. It also results in people of all ages
living healthier lives, removing a burden from the
health care system – and this benefits all of us!”
- Scott Morrison
Chairman, United
Way of Westchester
and Putnam Board
of Directors
NONPROFIT WESTCHESTER
Those of us working in the
nonprofit sector too often
feel misunderstood, maybe
even a bit overwhelmed. That
may be because so many
of us are wearing so many
different hats – accountant,
counselor, executive,
fundraiser, problem-solver and plumber. And that’s only our
workday responsibilities.
We do it all while balancing tight budgets with dwindling
resources and a greater demand or need for our services.
Nonprofit Westchester has an antidote. We’re holding a halfday conference Friday, Oct. 24 at Manhattanville College aimed at
giving you and your staff the tools to build relationships, attract
more supporters and spread your mission.
Our keynote address will be delivered by Farra Trompeter, vice
president of Big Duck Marketing. We also have a lineup of heavy
hitters in public relations, marketing, presentation and social
media that include:
Liz Bracken-Thompson, Thompson & Bender
Pat Hennessey, Westchester Community College
Robin Liebowitz, rkl3D
Nancy Maloy, Speak UP, Speak OUT with Confidence
Brian Howard, The Journal News
Alisa Kesten, Volunteer New York!
Since we’re in the nonprofit sector – and
are highly efficient with our time – we’re also
going to roll out our big plans for “Giving
Tuesday.” So don’t miss out, our nonprofit
conference could pay dividends to your
organization’s bottom-line.

Executive Director, Nonprofit Westchester
