United Way's Board of Directors made the decision to continue to fund the Boy Scouts of America, Greater Cleveland Chapter, a partner agency, at its September 2001 Board Meeting.

The career development program, taught by public school teachers in participating public schools, provides non-discriminatory access to all.

Periodically, United Way solicits community input on current health and human service needs. Additionally hundreds of service providers, interested citizens, other funding entities, and United Way volunteers provide insight. The community goals are developed from the information gathered at these meetings, a review of current activities and other research. This volunteer-directed research is used to determine the health and human services priorities where United Way funds will be invested.

Many people are surprised to discover how economically and efficiently United Way for the Greater New Orleans Area is run. For every dollar raised, we spend less than 15 cents on operating costs. These expenses include marketing and fund raising, accounting and other basic business functions. More importantly, they include all of the work we do to determine our community goal areas, distribute dollars to programs that address those goals, and monitor agency performance and results.

Here is one example: Nearly half the school children in our community either don't graduate high school or graduate without the skills to succeed in an information-age workplace.

Employers make a difference every year with corporate gifts. Not only does giving at a corporate level help the community, it shows the employees that the company is asking the employees to give to a cause that they themselves are showing support. A company is asked to do several things during the United Way campaign - to give a corporate donation, to allow employees to attend a short presentation about United Way and to offer payroll deduction to the employees.

We are similar in that, while most nonprofit organizations have specific missions, both community foundations and local chapters of the United Way aim to serve a broad range of charities in a given area. The Grays Harbor Community Foundation and the United Way of Grays Harbor both serve the same geographic area, and the types of charities we aim to support often overlap.

United Way dollars help local communities in dozens of ways. From emergency programs that feed the hungry, to shelters for the homeless, to job training designed to help adults better their lives and the lives of their families, local United Ways work with their communities to ensure that every need is being met.

These partners are helping us achieve our goals in promoting a higher education. Anyone can help at making this difference.

Yes you can. You will need to keep it under close control and we would recommend a lead on lengths such as the moorland stretches where there can be nesting birds. There are still some stiles on the route and your dog will need to be able to cross them.

Pandemic flu will impact on all services including health, police, fire, the military, fuel supply, food supply, food preparation, distribution and transport, prisons, education and business.

United Way stands by its policy of donor designation. Donors have the right to designate their gift to any IRS certified 501(c) (3) organization of their choice. When donors specifically request that their gift go to one such agency, United Way is obligated to send it there regardless of where the agency is located. United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona also distributes funds for Arizona’s Federal Employees, through the Combined Federal Campaign.

United Way honors donor designations to any health and human service 501(c)3 non-profit organization. However, to be a Partner Agency, agencies must address United Way's Funding Priorities and meet accountability standards. In 2002, the United Way Board of Directors declared that since the Humane Society Adoption Center of Monroe was not addressing any United Way Funding Priorities, the agency would no longer be a Partner Agency.
