Make a Contribution
Please give to the Acton-Boxborough United Way — your generosity allows us to continue to meet the needs of neighbors and friends in crisis; to continue our work in forming partnerships with organizations that can meet needs currently not addressed locally, and to raise awareness in the community about the issues that exist within our towns, as well as how to get and how to receive help.

A Meaningful Gift
Are you looking for a meaningful gift to honor or celebrate a special person? A thoughtful way to commemorate a special occasion or simply give thanks for a life well-lived? Occasions such as a birth, graduation, anniversary, citizenship, significant birthday, holidays, or retirement? Or to express appreciation to a teacher, a coach, a co-worker, a neighbor, or a community volunteer? You may honor that special person, while contributing to a fund to better Acton and Boxborough now and in the future. Your donation shows that Together, We Care! We will send an acknowledgement card or certificate to the person you are honoring and will send you a receipt for your tax records. In addition, with your permission, the honoree will be on our website.

We Couldn't Do It Without You
Perhaps you gave money, perhaps you spread the word, maybe you started a volunteer team at your place of employment, possibly you designated to the ABUW through your company’s payroll deduction campaign, maybe you helped to spread the word about the needs of our community, perhaps you served on our Board of Directors, or volunteered your time at an ABUW-funded organization, or maybe you attended one of our special events or saw us at a community activity such as Oktoberfest or Acton Day — if so, THANK YOU!
