Collaborations September 2007 Update
Did you know that you can direct your United Way donation
to a specific organization when you give to United Way? Did
you also know that Helpful Hands, Northeast Regional
Early Intervention Collaborative, is a 501(c)(3) organization
that meets the definition for United Way directed donations?
You can add the NREIC as a recipient of your donation. Just
put our name under Donor Choice Information. We
appreciate any support you provide, whether you do a one-
time donation to United Way or use the payroll deduction
option, United Way is a great way for you to donate to Helpful
Hands! And don’t forget to ask your company to match your
donation funds. This is a terrific way to know where your
money is going! So talk to your payroll, HR or United Way
representative or go to your company web site for United
Way. You may find there is an easy way to support your
favorite not-for-profit organization, Helpful Hands!
