Page 9 Facts About Your UW ...what is the UNITED WAY? The UNITED WAY is our company, its employees and others in the community expressing its concern for the welfare of the area. Through one annual fund-raising effort you and your fellow employee contribute to a healthier and happier community in which to live and work. THE UNITED WAY is MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER DRIVE ... it is a COMBINED campaign. ...who runs the UNITED WAY? Public spirited citizens representing all walks of life serve voluntarily and without pay in directing your United Way. They approve all programs and policies, they staff all committees and supervise all aspects of the year-round program of the local United Way. . .how is the GOAL determined? Each agency submits a request outlining services and stating its needs for the next operating year. A committee studies the request, reviews the services of the agency along with the community needs, and on the basis of its detailed review, makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors which, in turn sets a goal representing minimum needs. This years campaign goal has been set at $120,000. .. .does the UNITED WAY cost less? Yes! UNITED WAY fund raising costs less than 5%. Obviously, separate campaigning by each of the many agencies increases costs tremendously. UNITED WAY re duction of fund-raising costs makes more money available for the provision of community services. .. .are there other advantages in UNITED WAY giving? The UNITED WAY eliminates the year round involvement in multiple appeals. It establishes sound budgeting pro cedures and wise spending. It allows the separate agencies more time for service activities. It provides a body for planning for improved standards of service, eliminates duplication of services and offers the community a balan ced program covering the needs known to exist. It does all of these efficiently and economically, reducing waste wherever possible. .. .why PLEDGES rather than CASH? A small amount, given regularly, will add up to a worth-while contribution. It is easier for the individual and it allows the agencies to look forward to a full year of service to the community knowing that a full year's support is forthcoming. .. .why pledge through PAYROLL DEDUCTION? Clinton Mills employees are known to be interested in the welfare of the communities where they live. Employees traditionally support worthwhile community projects. In addition to providing an easy method for employee pledg ing, PAYROLL DEDUCTION centralizes bookkeeping and guarantees a necessary flow of cash throughout the year to the UNITED WAY and, therefore, to the member agencies. .. .why aren't ALL DRIVES included? All established agencies are regularly invited to join United Way. Some decline because they feel they can raise more money because of the separate, particular appeal. Some do not meet the high standards for‘United Way inclusion. The United Way maintains a widely publicized “open door” policy. The rules are fair to all and the contributing public is the final judge. Agencies which get separate public support will continue to wage separate campaigns. .. .are solicitors PAID? Solicitors are not paid and the occasional campaign luncheons and victory celebration dinners are made possi ble by sponsoring organizations, usually corporations or large businesses, or through members who pay for the event personally. .. .why do some agencies CHARGE FEES? Many services provided by agencies are intended to be available to all people regardless of their financial circums tances. It is felt that those who can afford to pay all, or a part of, the cost should do so with the understanding that no one should be denied service because of inability to pay. .. .1 don*! like one of the agencies? We all have likes and dislikes—at work, in the neighbor hood and in social affairs. No one agency can be 100% popular. Keep in mind, however, that the admissions committee accepts agencies only on the basis of es tablished community needs and the spends the money in direct proportion to services rendered.
