Who oversees the operations and finances of United Way?
The operating budget of United Way of Greater Fall River is audited by an independent accounting firm and carefully reviewed by members of the United Way Finance Committee and United Way Board of Directors. Only about 19 cents of every dollar is used for administrative purposes. United Way is governed by a local volunteer board of directors whose members are respected community and business leaders. Policies, activities, procedures, and agencies we support are determined locally. The community volunteers who lead United Way come from various positions and reflect the cultural diversity of our area. A knowledgeable professional staff works closely with these volunteers, handling United Way’s daily operations.
