Where the Money Goes
Each year volunteers from United Way of the Laurel Highlands are responsible for reviewing our member agencies, assessing the needs in the community and making the tough decision to allocate funds. When you give to United Way, your donation, combined with the donations of thousands of other people, becomes a significant pool of money. Decisions must be made as to how to distribute that pool of money in a way that benefits our community the most.
Volunteers have access to review financial information, stewardship reviews, and program statistics. Coupled with training on the allocations process and agency hearings, United Way volunteers become experts on the needs in our community and the agencies that address them.
If you have questions about the allocations process please contact the United Way of the Laurel Highlands.
