Whats the difference between United Way of Tampa Bay and the United Way Worldwide?
The United Way Worldwide is the national organization for all United Ways in the United States. It sets operating standards, brand guidelines, leads in setting national priorities and relationship building with national corporations and institutions, among many other things. Each local United Way, like here in Tampa Bay, is an autonomous organization with their own 501(c) 3 designation and their own board of directors. However each United Way is subject to the national standards and policies in order to maintain its public status as a United Way organization. The United Way Worldwide website is HERE.
