Financial and Allocation Reports

United Way ensures that donated funds are used wisely to serve people who need assistance the most through a volunteer-based allocation review process. Each volunteer is a member of a panel that visits agencies to learn how health and human services are provided to help people here in our community. The panel members review financial and program information about each agency and attend related presentations. Panel members use all of the above information to make funding recommendations.
