When I designate my dollars to a particular agency, does my designation increase that agencys normal allocation?
Yes. While United Way strongly supports donors rights to choose which agencies will receive their support, we want donors to know that designating gifts bypasses one of United Ways greatest valuesthe citizen review process that not only identifies our communities greatest needs, but those agencies that are working most effectively and efficiently to address them. United Ways volunteers do not take designated gifts into account when they decide on the annual allocation amount. Therefore, any dollars designated to an agency are a gift over and above the United Way allocation amount. All of the agencies receiving United Way funding are valued. But no one agency can provide our community with all the social services needed. An undesignated gift to United Way acts as a security blanket for Warren County residents, providing a broad range of essential services.
