If you thought raising more than $937,000 was tough, United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle says some of the organization’s hardest work is yet to come.
The United Way wrapped up its 2025 annual campaign earlier this month, raising its second-highest total in history at $937,969.33. That figure trails only the 2024 campaign total of $942,686.14.
Kohnle said she is proud of the work the organization accomplished, both in raising funds to support dozens of programs and nonprofits across the county and in educating the public about its mission. However, the campaign’s $1.2 million goal was based on funding requests from those nonprofit organizations and programs.
As a result, Kohnle said the next step is to meet with some community partners to explain that allocations may need to be adjusted.
Despite fundraising efforts being concentrated in the final four months of the year, Kohnle said donations to United Way of Door County are accepted year-round, whenever the giving spirit strikes.
