WHY DOESN’T UNITED WAY TAKE MORE OF A PUBLIC STAND ON CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES?
United Way is founded on and pursues the principle of respect for the diversity which exists in our community and the rights and dignity of the people who seek and use the services which are legally available to them. United Way provides a neutral ground for people of diverse interests and beliefs to join together for the greater good of our community. United Way also supports as broad a group of nonprofits as is possible with limited dollars, and advocates for improved public policies in response to what volunteers and contributors consider to be priority community needs.
