What determines how our agencies are funded?

Our partner agencies work diligently every day to provide the services our community so desperately needs.  And oftentimes, they do it on a shoestring budget. They are the true advocates for the people of this community. Your investment in United Way helps secure the operation of our partner agencies year after year.

We make a promise to our investors that we will be accountable for each dollar that is donated to United Way. In order to do that, we have an established process for allocating funds to our partner agencies that begins with a yearly Agency Application and ends with a volunteer led Citizens Review that determines actual dollars allocated. This process ensures donors that their investment is being spent in an efficient and effective way and that it stays right here in our community.
