Less than 10 percent goes to cover administrative costs of the campaign, a part time executive director and the operations of the office. These administrative costs are well below the national average and the costs of other United Way organizations in New Mexico. This goal is set by the United Way board after meeting with agency representatives and during a two week public hearing process with the Budget Committee. Funding recommendations are made and given to the full board, where they are reviewed and approved. The best way is the way that works for you.
Many people prefer payroll deduction because of the convenience.
Others use automatic bank deductions with one of several participating banks. You may make a direct donation to the United Way office at pre-determined intervals.
