HOW TO BECOME LICENSED

To have your company considered for an Alternative Vendor license, please -

  • Step 1:  Click here to complete and submit the License Application for United Way Branded Merchandise and Promotional Products
     
  • Step 2:  Upon receipt of your application, it will enter a review process that may take up to 2-4 weeks.  If you have a pending, time-sensitive first order with a member organization, please note this in the Comment field at the end of the application and we will work to expedite the review.  
     
  • Step 3:  When the review is complete and you have been approved for a license, you will be sent a DocuSign Licensing Agreement for electronic signature along with a credit card authorization to process your $100.00 registration fee. 
     
  • Step 4:  After your e-signed contract is submitted, it will be counter-signed at United Way Worldwide and a executed copy returned to you.  Note that the contract will only be considered fully executed after your $100 payment is received. 
     
  • Step 5:  Once the license is fully executed, you will receive a welcome email that provides additional information, including Branding Guidelines and other resources. If you have any questions, including any of the more common inquiries we get below, contact brandlicensing@uww.unitedway.org
