About which philanthropic cause are you the most passionate?

"What initially attracted me to United Way was its focus on global health issues. Healthcare is not only my profession but also my passion in life. It runs in the family! My mother was a dentist, my father was a doctor, and I have been working as a registered travel nurse for the past four years. I believe that every individual deserves access to high-quality, affordable healthcare, and I have been so happy to use my skills to help people heal. Now, I am ready for the next step in my career, and working as a field nurse for an organization like United Way would combine my skills and experience with my desire to help others."

"I was impressed by the scope of United Way's programs addressing education, health, and income, and I was especially interested in United Way's work in communities to support financial stability. I grew up in a family that relied on food stamps to supplement our nutrition and rental assistance to stay in our home. Because of this, I understand first-hand the stresses and fears associated with struggling to provide the basics for survival. Financial stability eases that burden and gives families and individuals a chance to realize their potential. This is the cause I want to devote my life working to improve."

Your answer should differ slightly from your answer regarding United Way's mission. While highlighting your knowledge of United Way's programs and mission is necessary, here you want to hone in on one of the organization's three main issue areas (education, health, and income) and discuss why it is so important to you.
