Throughout the year, the United
Way of Naugatuck and Beacon Falls is at work in our community:
- Meeting with local service providers
to review our community's needs
- Recruiting and training volunteers
- Monitoring each of our funded
agencies to ensure that they are well-managed and effective
- Exploring opportunities to address
new or emerging needs
- Planning and conducting an efficient
and cost-effective community-wide fundraising campaign to
support our local health and human service agencies
WHERE YOUR
MONEY GOES AND HOW IT GETS THERE
Each fall, local health and human
service agencies submit to United Way of Naugatuck & Beacon
Falls program information along with detailed financial reports
and budgets. Our volunteer Budgets and Admissions Committee
members review all program and financial information and meet
with representatives from the agencies. Whenever possible, on-site
visits to the agencies are made.
The volunteers then assess community
needs and program services to determine how your money can best
be used. They present their funding recommendations to the United
Way Board of Directors. The money is then distributed to local
agencies that provide the services to local people who need
help.
