How much money actually goes to community services, programs and initiatives?
Approximately 88 cents of every dollar donated to United Way of Greater Waterbury supports service, programs and initiatives that meet basic needs, improve community conditions and help get to the root causes of some our most pressing problem. United Way of Greater Waterbury’s low overhead cost of 12 cents on the dollar is well below the benchmark of 35 cents recommended for charities by the Better Business Bureau.
