Since 1988, Community Health Charities has conducted seminars, screenings, and topical conferences in the workplace, in cooperation with its 29 member charities. As a result, companies are better able to contain health care costs and employees are healthier and more productive. More than 400 Connecticut companies and their employees have benefited from these programs. United Way's portion funds more than 100 human service programs ranging from teaching positive alternatives to violence for youths to providing shelter and food for the homeless. Both United Way and Community Health Charities honors designations to member and associate agencies first.
Associate agencies receive designations only.
For United Way member agencies the remaining contributions are distributed by a committee of knowledgeable volunteers who monitor community needs and each agency's financial and program records. Remaining contributions for Community Health Charities agencies are distributed according to a carefully determined formula that provides a basic level of support to all agencies and recognizes delivery of programs and services to the Capital Area. Community Health Charities has experienced and knowledgeable volunteers who visit agencies and review financial and program data. Both United Way and Community Health Charities are committed to ensuring that donations go to agencies that will use them efficiently and effectively to help people who need help the most. You will also be placed on our mailing list to receive periodic updates on how your gift is making a difference in our community.
