A. Nonprofit organizations that want to become a United Way member agency must apply for certification and go through a formal review process. Some choose not to apply for any number of reasons. Some may not want the level of scrutiny by community volunteers that is required; others may not want the fund-raising restrictions required. There are many worthwhile agencies that help people with specific needs. But when you give your time or money through United Way you become part of a caring force to strengthen our community that is unduplicated by any other nonprofit organization.
