United Way’s annual campaign is winding down Nov. 20, with a goal to reach $4.5 million to help fund two dozen community nonprofit agencies in Greater Lafayette in the coming year. These are places that stand in the gaps to fight hunger, find decent housing, provide afterschool activities for kids, put mental health resources in reach, offer child care for working families and more.

100% of local donations stay in Greater Lafayette.

Virginia Vought, this year’s United Way campaign chair, says it has more than $3 million in contributions and pledges from 100-plus companies and 8,000 local donors heading into the final two weeks of the campaign.

Like they say, every dollar counts. So …

Here’s the deal for BiL readers, new and old: I’ll add a free month to your new or existing full-access Based in Lafayette subscription for a donation of any amount to the 2025 United Way campaign through Nov. 20.
