Capital Area United Way
Message from the CEO As we begin a new year, we look forward to the opportunities and successes ahead of us. We at Capital Area United Way are enthusiastic about our continuing efforts to impact early childhood education and development through the implementation of the Help Me Grow program and the Social Innovation Fund grant. Both of these programs will provide significant capabilities to create transformational change in the greater Baton Rouge area. Capital Area United Way is excited about leading change in early childhood education, income stability, and healthier lifestyles. These three focus areas are important for everyone to have a quality life in our community. As a Leadership giver, you are investing in programs that increase and support early childhood education, assist low income earners with managing their incomes, and promote healthy living. For every dollar, you invest in more than 120 programs in our 10-parish service area, producing a measurable return on investment. Only programs that are well managed and can generate demonstrable outcomes are selected each year. Leadership is defined by results, and as a Leadership giver, you are making a measurable difference in our community every day. The board members, employees, and volunteers of Capital Area United Way want to express our appreciation to all Leadership givers for your continuing generosity. The vision of Capital Area United Way is creating community solutions to advance the common good. Thank you for leading the way! Richard Williams, Interim President & CEO

“It is important for Whitney Bank to give back to Capital Area United Way because we are a member of the community. While our bank spans the Southeastern region of the country, we are a part of our local community. We encouraged all officers to be leadership givers because we are leaders in our community outside the bank. As leaders and members of this community, we are committed to making sure Baton Rouge is a great place for everyone.” Verni Howard, Whitney Bank
