According to the National Charities Information Bureau, only 75 cents of each dollar given to a nonprofit is spent on programs. United Way of Broward County far surpasses that measure. All campaign events are self-sustaining and designed to break even. Attendees pay for their own meals and some area corporations assist with promotional costs. United Way of Broward County is completely autonomous from United Way of America, and like the 1,900 United Ways across the country, our United Way is a local organization providing resources to local health and human service organizations.
Local volunteers determine all policies, procedures and decisions.
United Way of America provides training, advertising resources and consulting services to local United Ways. Under no circumstances should an individual be coerced into contributing. Giving is a personal matter, and whether you give and how much you choose to give is up to you.
