Why are dollars for the Community Solutions Fund (or undesignated gifts) so important?
The Community Solutions Fund is where the power of the United Way really goes to work. Knowledgeable volunteers direct those dollars to proven programs that achieve results in the priority areas of Education, Income, and Health. United Way is not a middleman. You can’t have an orchestra without a conductor. United Way conducts a coordinated network of services provided by 78 Partner Agencies to meet needs and solve problems before they happen. United Way studies the needs and fills gaps. No one else is doing this. No one else looks at the big picture the way United Way does.
