Donor Responsive - We listen to the donor. Our agencies provide us with concrete measurable results. Benefits for the donors UWSV provides many services to inspire donors. UWSV performs quality control and sets standards for its member agencies, thereby saving individual donors enormous amounts of time. Funding allocation decisions are guided by a community-wide needs assessment, helping to ensure that the most critical needs are addressed.
Systems exist to evaluate outcomes and analyze service impact.
Cost effectiveness results from the administrative efficiency of a larger scale operation. Corporations often match employee gifts. Funded agencies can attract new dollars from other funding sources seeking matching funds for special projects. Funded agencies can market their membership status as a seal of approval to attract additional funding. UW giving allows the donor to invest funds in a multitude of charitable causes in one action - much like a mutual fund for an investor.
