The community is well served to have both a United Way and a community foundation. A United Way typically serves only its member agencies, which is a small percentage of the community health and human service organizations. It makes annual distribution for general operating support to these agencies based on its annual fund drive proceeds.  The Community Foundation supports all areas of the community – arts and culture, education, health and human services, recreation, and civic affairs – and has no members who are guaranteed annual gifts.  It distributes earnings in a competitive grant-making process, generally on a one-year-only basis. The Community Foundation distributes only the earnings from its endowment funds, and not all of the money that it holds.
