What is our local United Ways relationship with the United Way of America?
Each local United Way is an independent and locally governed organization. United Way of America (UWA) serves as a training and service center for United Ways across the country but is not a national headquarters and has no governance or financing authority over local United Ways. We pay nominal dues-less than one-half of one percent of funds collected annually-to UWA for training, marketing and advertising materials, research, government relations, media relations counsel, and a national corporate development program.
