Whats the difference between giving to United Way versus directly to an agency?
A gift to United Way’s Community Fund is an investment in your community that supports local programs and partnerships that are helping the elderly to stay active, increasing community education resources, assisting people with disabilities to be independent, meeting basic needs of individuals impacted by crisis and providing support to individuals transitioning to self-sufficiency. Community fundraising costs would more than double if every agency had to raise the funds United Way provides. Please support agencies you know, but also consider a “first gift” to United Way for the entire community network of services. Every year, United Way volunteers decide where your money can do the most good to keep our agency network strong. We need to make sure these agencies receive the resources they need to do this important work. Your gift provides direct services to over 45,000 individuals in need here in Eastern Maine.
