Isnt it cheaper for me to just give directly to the charity of my choice?
If you want to give a one-time gift directly to one charity, it might be easier for you to do so directly United Way supports your desire for charitable giving no matter how you choose to make it. For many donors, they appreciate the fact that United Way directs their gift to the highest priorities in the community. In addition, the Community Impact Fund only funds programs of the agency (no overhead). The other significant advantage of supporting your community through the Community Impact Fund is that the Community Investment Division (made up of staff and volunteers) review each and every program quarterly for outcomes. In addition, the other advantage of giving throughUnited Way is that itprovides you with a convenient service by deducting a small amount of money from your paycheck at a time allowing you to possibly contribute more than you might be able to in a one-time gift and giving you a chance to make a bigger difference to people in need.
