In this episode of Prescott Valley Talks, host Steve Bracety sits down with David Seigler, CEO of Yavapai United Way, to explore how this remarkable organization does far more than write checks. David shares how United Way vets and invests in 38 nonprofit programs that collectively serve over 142,000 Yavapai County residents each year - nearly half the county's population. He breaks down the power of employee payroll giving, how small contributions added up to $455,000 last year, and why the Arizona State Charitable Tax Credit is one of the most underutilized financial tools available to donors. David also opens up about his own personal journey - from military service and the Boys & Girls Club to a period of financial hardship that gave him a profound, firsthand understanding of the community he now serves. With 54 nonprofits applying for $1.4 million in 2027 and only half that projected available, the need in Yavapai County has never been more urgent.#Arizona #CAST11 #SignalsAZ #YavapaiUnitedWay #PrescottValley #NonprofitLeadership #CommunityImpact PV Talks is part of the CAST11 Podcast Network of Prescott.
