How is the Money Distributed?
Our Process is...
Volunteer Driven. In the citizen review process of fund allocation, community volunteers assess the effectiveness and efficiency of each health and human service program that applies for United Way funding. These volunteers analyze financial information, conduct site visits and make funding recommendations to the United Way of Mesa County Board of Directors. The Board of Directors (also made up of volunteers) reviews the volunteers’ recommendations and makes the final allocation decisions. For the 2009-2010 allocation process, 70 volunteers on 9 different panels participated in review and funding decisions. In addition, 9 CPAs reviewed the financial statements for the 61 applications received. Click here to read the allocation volunteer job description.
Straightforward. The process will be clear and understandable to the agencies, the contributions and the United Way volunteers who apply it. The Fund Distribution system will be applied in a consistent and impartial manner.
Accountable. United Way will monitor each funded agency to make sure donor dollars are being converted into services. Organizations that are receiving funding through donations to United Way will report their progress on a semi-annual basis.
