The United Way movement includes approximately 1,400 community-based United Way organizations. Each is independent, separately incorporated, and governed by local volunteers.
United Way brings volunteers and companies throughout our community together to improve people’s lives. Businesses and individuals respond to multiple charitable requests through one effort and agencies raise more money more efficiently than they would if they conducted separate campaigns.
