Chair United Way of the Coastal Bend not only depends on volunteers to raise funds.
Volunteers also make decisions about how funds are distributed.
Each year, representatives from across the community come together to focus their expertise on where United Way funds can best be used to impact community problems. These volunteers visit agencies, examine budgets, study outcomes and make the tough decisions about where the money goes. They take very seriously the responsibility of determining how donations to United Way can best be used to make an impact.
