All funds in the Campaign go into the Community Fund unless a donor designates a specific agency or other United Way. On an annual basis, United Way Volunteers evaluate overall community needs and United Way funded programs. Money is then allocated based on these evaluations and the recommendations of the volunteer committees. The Community Fund is the best way to help the most people and meet the greatest needs in our community.
In the spring, trained volunteers evaluate community needs and the services provided by United Way Community Partners. This review assures that all gifts are used in a manner that best meets the needs of our community. These volunteers make funding recommendations to the United Way Board of Directors for final approval. To find out more or to find out how you can volunteer, visit our website.
