Because of United Way’s volunteer involvement, the greatest part of your dollar possible, nearly 89%, goes directly to help people in need in our community. With current operating costs at 11.7%, contributors to Geauga County United Way Services can take pride in the fact that our total administrative costs continue to be much lower than the national United Way average and far less than half of the 50% figure considered acceptable for charities as recommended by the Better Business Bureau.
