WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
WIDE REACH -- United Way is the best way to reach the most people with your charitable donations. Through our network of local youth, health, and social services agencies, your gifts help provide essential programs in our community. United Way provides vital "unrestricted funds" to our partnering organizations. These resources create stop-gaps that no other entity supports/ So your gift ensures a safety net of services here in Whitman County.
​
WISE INVESTMENT -- United Way keeps administrative costs to a minimum. That means we put more of your money where you want it to go -- to help those who need it most. In recent years, 85% of the funds we raised were allocated to Palouse area agencies, while 10 percent paid for fund-raising costs and 5 percent for our local administrative costs. Your partnership means our partners are free to focus on meeting vital needs throughout our communities.
Let's Live United
