Partner Agencies
Working together makes the best use of resources.
United
Way funds a wide variety of human care services that are provided through
local partner agencies. The approach makes such excellent use of donated
dollars because United Way volunteers monitor both the effectiveness of agency
programs and the agencies’ financial accountability. Our United
Way agencies work well together, offering clients access to a continuum of
services. United Way also leverages additional resources for the
community by supplying the local match that is often required to secure
government and foundation grants.
All partner agencies must be incorporated as a not-for-profit health
and social welfare organization or chartered as a local unit by an
organization so incorporated. Other requirements include: a
minimum of two years of providing local services; bylaws; a governing
body; tax exemption/registration; compliance with non-discrimination
laws; and financial accountability.
