Research
Before we ask you for a contribution, United Way does extensive research to determine the community's current and emerging needs, and the resources already in place to meet those needs.

Priorities
Once the needs and gaps in resources are known, United Way community volunteers determine which needs are most urgent.

Strategy
Expert volunteers and staff identify strategies and target dollars to programs that address the community's most urgent needs.
