United Way Allocates $1.44 Million to Local Charities for 2011 Fiscal Year

The United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties’ Board of Directors voted to approve $1.44 million in funding for 58 programs through 36 Partner Agencies on May 23, 2011. The funds were raised during the United Way’s annual fundraising campaign.
“In these economic times, we are so proud that our community has made the commitment to Live United by opening their hearts and giving. We want to say thank-you to all of those who’s time and resources continue to help us change lives in our community;” said Ray Salazar, President of United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties.
United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties is this region’s most comprehensive health and human service umbrella organization. United Way donations are the largest single source of funding for local non-profit agencies, with the exception of local, state, and federal governments.

Allocations Process:
The allocation process is controlled strictly by volunteers. This year, over 60 community volunteers took part in the process, which included touring agencies, interviewing staff, reviewing financial documents and analyzing outcomes. These volunteers donated an excess of 725 hours to thoroughly review each agency program and make the tough funding decisions.
Ninety-five percent of the funded agencies received ratings categorized as ‘Good’ or ‘Excellent.’ “Our Partner Agencies continue to show that even in tough times they are rising to the occasion to make sure that lives are being changed and that every effort possible is being made to meet the needs of our community;” says Tim Sylvia, Director of Community Investments. Continued successful outcomes are a vital part of the evaluation process and help to show the impact of every donated dollar in the community.
