 Ways you can help:

The Independence Foundation is a proud participant in the United Way of Buffalo & Erie County and Niagara County Community Care Campaign and Donor Choice Program for 2007.

The United Way Community Care Campaign provides donors with a unique opportunity to support a diverse network of human services. A gift to United Way Community Care ensures that critical needs are met in the community. In addition to your gift to United Way Community Care, you may consider adding a gift designated to The Independence Foundation.

Please consider us as you make your United Way designations.
