Why aren all agencies affiliated with United Way?
Some agencies do not meet United Way standards, while others follow national policies requiring them to operate independently. Some do not receive United Way funding because their programs closely resemble or duplicate existing programs available to the population being served. However, thousands of agencies not directly affiliated with United Way are eligible to receive financial support through United Way from contributors who designate their gifts. Therefore, United Way’s campaign is open to all qualifying nonprofits that provide health and human service programs.
