Campaign Facts

  • Over 99% of every dollar raised by United Way stays right here. These are dollars that circulate back into our local economy, dollars that help each of us make a living here.

  • A goal of United Way is to minimize community fundraising efforts by having a once a year fundraising campaign on behalf of all the agencies. This combined work place and community wide effort helps us in keeping fundraising costs to a minimum.

  • You, The Donor - As a donor to United Way you have the option to:

    1. Give your contribution directly to United Way (community volunteers will determine how funds should be distributed based on need).

    2. Designate your dollars to a special area of need, or

    3. Designate your money to any United Way or other non-profit agency in the community. The choice is yours
