How are WUW Agencies held accountable?
They must be recognized by the IRS as a non-profit agency and governed by volunteers. They must meet a human service need and operate at or under administrative costs of 25%. Every one of our agencies undergo an annual review from United Way volunteers on our Funds Distribution committees. They are required to submit annual budgets, audits and a report detailing their programs and services from the previous year, along with the number of consumers who were involved or received a benenfit from those programs.
