How much does United Way spend on fundraising and salaries?
A. Trident United Way keeps its costs lower than virtually any other charity organization. Because it operates according to strict business principles, Trident United Way is able to invest about 85 cents of each dollar we collect in programs and services helping people in need. Comparing that to 75 cents for comparable national organizations and the guideline of at least 60 cents by the National Charities Information Bureau shows how cost-effective Trident United Way is. Charity Navigator, a not for profit watchdog group, has given Trident United Way its highest ranking of four stars!
