Every gift makes a difference.
United Way agencies stretch every dollar to make the most of limited resources. With your help, these programs will continue to provide critical support to people who need help.
Agency Funding vs. Program Funding:
With agency funding, an organization is awarded funds that it can use for whatever it may need, including operating costs or building expenses.
Program funding—which is what United Way provides—means that funds go only to specific programs offered by an agency. In this way, United Way of Greater Williamsburg can ensure that agencies are being accountable for the monies they receive. Each program must have a clear set of objectives and the effectiveness of each program, or its outcomes, must be measurable. Agencies are required to provide United Way of Greater Williamsburg with program outcomes on a scheduled basis. This ensures that donated funds are being used efficiently and effectively, and that those contributions are having an impact on critical issues in our community. Annual, budgets and programs are reviewed by a panel of volunteers who assure that community needs are being met by the funded programs.
