Allocations

Your gift to Warren County United Way is more than a donation; each dollar is an investment into our community.  United Way works with 29 Partner Agencies to advance the common good and create opportunities for a better life for all.  Our Partner Agencies help address issues ranging from early childhood learning, financial stability training, senior programs, homeless shelters, adult illiteracy, youth mentoring, domestic violence and much more.

In 2010, 40 volunteers serving on the Allocation Committee devoted a combined total of 643 hours reviewing the 60 plus programs provided by the Warren County United Way 29 Partner Agencies.  In preparation of making their allocation recommendations to the Warren County United Way Board of Directors, these volunteers review budget proposals, make on site visits, discuss program effectiveness, challenges of a strained economy, increased need for services, and funding deficits.  In addition, the volunteers hear formal presentations within their assigned Focus Group from the financial and executive leadership of each Partner Agency.  This Citizen Review process ensures the fiscal and program accountability of our Partner Agencies and assures our donors that their investments in the Warren County United Way are wisely reinvested in a wide variety of effective community services that impact the whole community.
