For the past two years, United Way volunteers and staff have been working on Investment Plans for 2008 - 2010. These plans include extensive research on the needs of the community, the best practices for getting positive results in meeting those needs, and descriptions of the strategies and programs in which we will invest your money.
A few important points to relay to your employees about their United Way contributions:
- In Lehigh and Northampton Counties alone, there are 1,151 registered 501(c)(3) organizations. This number includes only those nonprofits whose budgets are large enough to register, and does not include faith-based organizations.
- Funding requests from United Way in December of 2007 totaled $10 million dollars. Your United Way only had $5 million to distribute.
Interact with your fellow coordinators and United Way staff by replying to this post with your comments, questions, and concerns. We need to hear from you!
