Frequently Asked Questions

What is United Way?

The Wyoming County United Way is a local, private, non-profit organization meeting local needs and has served Wyoming County since 1968. Our purpose is to bring people and resources together to address the most urgent issues facing residents throughout the County.

Who decides where the donations go?

A caring group of local volunteers review the issues and needs in Wyoming County, they also review applicant qualifications and requests for funding, and make a recommendation to the Wyoming County United Way Board of Directors for approval.

I work outside of the county, how can I give through my work campaign?

When giving through your employer, please be sure to check the box on the donation form to designate your pledge back to the Wyoming County United Way, if you don’t designate then your donation will go to the United Way in the county your employer is located. Also, please check the box “please acknowledge” so your name is forwarded to the Wyoming County United Way.

I can only afford to give a small amount. Is it worth giving at all?

Yes, every donation is important. Giving in proportion to your ability gives a sense of belonging to a larger community, and of making a difference. The Wyoming County United Way combines your gift to hundreds of others and then focuses those donations to have a measurable impact on key issues that matter in our community.
