Thank you for supporting the United Way Campaign.  One service that we provide to the community is the ability to select and designate donations to local not-for-profits.  If you choose this option, you can search a list of organizations that are eligible to receive your donation and United Way will readily process and forward your donation to the agency of your choice.

If you are also interested in supporting our community and thousands of local people in need, you have the additional option of sharing part of your gift to go toward United Way's Community Fund.

In accordance with the statement of Financial Accounting Standards 116, United Way will make every effort to forward your gift to the Area of Community Need or organization you designate. However, if the organization you designate to is not consistent with current United Way policy, or if your designation is not complete and in compliance, United Way reserves the right to re-direct your gift to the United Way in your area. For more information, call (585) 242-6527.

United Way is the region's largest and most efficient charitable means of supporting the planning, delivery, and evaluation of local human service programs. 92 cents of every contributed dollar is used to meet community needs. All gifts are subject to a pledge loss reserve charge.
