An Organization You Can Trust
You can count on United Way of Central Washington to be accountable for the dollars you entrust to us. We’re very proud of our record of efficiency and strive to be completely transparent to the donors that place their confidence and hard-earned money in our care to use as effectively as possible in our community.
The Better Business Bureau recommends that a nonprofit spend at least 65% of its annual expenses on program activity, while the American Institute of Philanthropy sets its minimum standard at 60% of expenses. We are proud to report that 9.8% of our overall budget pays for our annual fundraising campaign on behalf of 50 partner agencies and 75 critically needed programs that last year served over 115,000 residents in Yakima and Kittitas Counties. Our administrative cost was 12.3%.
