What is the difference between United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra, other local United Ways, and United Way of America?
United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra is part of a national network of locally governed organizations that work to create lasting positive changes in communities and people’s lives. United Way of America helps local United Ways accomplish their missions by providing research, training, technical support and other important services that local United Ways cannot do efficiently alone. Local United Ways pay one cent per dollar of the amount they raise for UWA services. We operate independently of United Way of America and the other 1200+ locally governed United Ways.
