Statement Regarding Coercion

Giving is a personal matter and decision, therefore no form of coercion is acceptable to The Shelby County United Way. Our organization does not condone any use of coercion in our campaigns. Any semblance of pressure - whether real, implied, or perceived - is contradictory to the operating standards of the Shelby County United Way.  In addition, no services provided by a United Way agency will be denied due to the recipient's inability or unwillingness to make a donation to the United Way.
