 The programs funded by United
Way of Mahaska
County are closely monitored
to ensure their success at changing lives for the better. United Way
agencies provide services that benefit all kinds of people in our
community: youth & children, the elderly, families, and individuals
from all walks of life. Who decides? Our United
Way makes funding decision based on local
priorities. United Way supports agencies and programs that work in this
community to strengthen families and individuals.
Each year a panel of community volunteers is assembled to review agency
applications and make funding recommendations to the United Way Board of
Directors. After reviewing all of the applications, the panel members
interview agency representatives to ask questions and clarify the
agencies’ needs. These local experienced volunteers compare how each
program will meet our assessed community needs, and then determine
who will be funded and how to distribute funds so that donors know their
money is battling the most pressing issues and reaching people who need
it most.
Last year, United Way
of Mahaska County
provided $240,000 for our programs and to agencies supporting youth
programs, health and human services, emergency/crisis programs,
development, support services, as well as self-sufficiency. Your gift to United
Way makes a difference in Mahaska
County. Ninety-nine cents of
every dollar stays in our community – helping at home.
United Way stays accountable to our donors and volunteers by
contracting with a local accounting firm to conduct an annual audit.
LIVES ARE CHANGED BECAUSE OF YOU!
