United Way
of Baytown Area
The United Way is………….
………VOLUNTEER
GOVERNED.
Through an annual allocations process, citizens review agency budgets,
evaluate agency requests for funds, and prioritize community needs. Their
recommendations are forwarded to the United Way board of directors, also
composed of volunteers, which finalizes the decision about how donations
are
distributed to the United Way member agencies.
……….COST
EFFECTIVE.
Because corporate contributions are earmarked to cover all
administrative costs, 100% of every
dollar donated by individuals is forwarded to clients in the form of programs and services
by United Way agencies. Overall, roughly 90 cents of every United
Way dollar is directed for programs and services.
……….LOCALLY
FOCUSED.
Dollars given in the Baytown area stay here, where United Way member
agencies deliver programs and services.
