Presentation Notes

Sarah – United Way Overview United Way’s largest investment area is that of Annual Sustained Funding. Every year we send out a Request for Proposals in one of our three investment areas of either Education, Income Stability, or Health. Agencies who apply are subject to a thorough process led by our allocations volunteers. In 2019 we will be partnering with 22 local agencies and coalitions as we seek long-term, sustainable, and impactful solutions to the problems facing individuals and families today. I have occasionally been asked the question, “Why give to United Way rather than give to an agency directly?” Ease of giving. Whether donors are making a leadership pledge, or giving 3$ a week, payroll deduction is one of the easiest way to earmark pre-tax philanthropic dollars to causes and communities you care about. Agency Accountability. Agencies who want to become United Way partners undergo a rigorous application process led by community volunteers. Our volunteers ask for the specifics on program details, performance metrics, outcomes, and budgetary transparency. Only agencies who successfully complete the volunteer-led application and annual program review receive funds. Fiscal Review and transparency. Our local United Way team considers it a privilege to work with donors like you and others who want to change lives and community conditions. We consider it a sacred trust that you allow us to invest your hard-earned dollars back into our community. So we review agency audits and financial data annually to make sure your donations are being invested and used appropriately. When you invest in United Way, you can be confident that your dollars are being spent wisely.
