United Way of Delaware's annual campaign is now under way in businesses and communities throughout the state. Each year, programs funded by United Way directly affect the lives of one in three Delawareans. When one life is changed because of a United Way program, all of our lives are improved. Corporate and individual support of United Way and its health and human service agencies is crucial to the well-being of our state. When making a donation to United Way, you can do so in a variety of ways.
Some donors choose to designate gifts directly to their agency of choice.
Others prefer to give to United Way's CommunityCare program and let United Way use the expertise of its volunteers to determine where your money will best benefit the community. Committee of experts Volunteers who serve on the United Way's CommunityCare Allocations Committee represent a diverse cross-section of our community. The committee brings together nearly 100 people with a vast wealth of knowledge. The Allocations Committee considers the numerous funding requests United Way receives from its member agencies. Calling upon the group's understanding of community needs, volunteers scrutinize agency budgets and services, conduct on-site visits and determine which programs will best benefit the greatest number of people.
