LCRA employees participate in volunteer activities, such as Light the Night Walk, benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, that are sponsored by United Charities.

LCRA employees support United Charities on a voluntarily basis through a monthly payroll deduction plan. Requests for donations are reviewed by employee committees, with careful consideration given to each grant application, and are reviewed monthly. Time sensitive requests should be submitted at least two months prior to printing deadlines to allow enough time for processing.

United Charities contributes more than $350,000 annually, supporting a variety of nonprofit organizations throughout LCRA’s service area. United Charities, which began in April, 1990, has contributed more than $6 million to more than 500 nonprofit organizations in the LCRA serviced area, as well as to organizations that help victims of natural and manmade disasters around the world.
