What agencies/programs does United Way support?
United Way used to distribute all donations to more than 130 different agencies. That spread the money out too thinly to completely address, let alone solve, the region’s major problems. In 2007, United Way moved to a Community Impact Model and the Campaign focuses on three major issues: Stopping Child Abuse & Neglect; Homeless Outreach & Prevention; Promoting Financial Stability and Independence. When you choose to make a contribution to United Way, you have the option of donating to one or more of these Focus Areas. .
