Why your United Way Contribution is Important

• United Way funding not only demonstrates community-wide support for agencies that apply for public and private grants, but combined United Way contributions can be doubled, tripled or increased even more by agencies applying for matching grants.
  
• Contributing through United Way guarantees our local agencies funds they can rely on and plan for, rather than depending on sporadic contributions.
  
• Volunteer oversight assures that United Way agencies adhere to sound fiscal policies and provide quality services.
  
• Giving through United Way reduces costly and time-consuming fundraising efforts for the agencies, so their time can be spent helping others.
  
• Needs are not one-dimensional. United Way funds a network of care to ensure that agencies are able to work together to meet the needs of our community.
