PULSE

PULSE (People United for Leadership, Service and Equity) is a dynamic network of changemakers from all backgrounds coming together to create lasting impact. We believe that community-wide collaboration is essential in driving meaningful change.

Our Vision:

• We work to solve pressing community issues through Trident United Way’s financial stability programs. 
• We support Trident United Way with our time, talent and treasure, using our experiences and our voices to make a difference for our neighbors. 
• Network and inform: We share data about community conditions to increase our knowledge — strengthening our collective ability to create change.

Trident United Way PULSE consists of leaders from across the Tri-County who contribute $1,000 or more to Trident United Way. Members have unique opportunities to see the impact that their financial support and volunteerism have on community issues.

PULSE Step-Up Program

For those individuals not quite ready to invest in Trident United Way at the $1,000 level, the PULSE Step-Up program allows donors to gradually increase their gift over a period of three years. Step-Up members will make a commitment to increase their Trident United Way gift, giving at least $500 in year one, $750 in year two and $1,000 in year three. Step-Up members are recognized as full PULSE members and have access to all PULSE benefits.
