Supports 46 Member Agencies that provide services to the people who live or work in Burlington County. Is governed by a 48-member Board of Directors. Our United Way uses only 10 percent of the contributions for administration and fundraising expenses - an amount significantly below the national average of 25 to 40 percent. This is directly related to the use of hundreds of volunteers throughout the year and thousands during the fund drive.
Offers donors a choice of how their gift is distributed.
United Way-funded programs and services touched the lives of almost 200,000 people in this community last year. This amounts to almost one in two Burlington County residents. Over 500 volunteers provide business expertise, resources, and time to our United Way on a year-round basis. An additional 1,500 volunteers help our local United Way by working within their companies during the annual fund drive. 80 volunteers participate in the fund distribution process and monitor the Member Agencies to make sure the funds are used as efficiently and effectively as possible.
