The Fund Distribution Process (formerly known as allocations) is the cornerstone of our United Way. It ensures fiscal and program accountability for all agencies receiving United Way funds while meeting the social services needs of the community. In the process, volunteers challenge each agency's effectiveness at providing services, review the need for programs in the region, and analyze the impact of United Way funding in meeting those needs.
In Lee County, Fund Distribution runs from January through May. Volunteers are assigned a team. Each team meets just twice to discuss the agencies and review their financial documents, application, and performance history. The second time is to visit the agencies and make recommendations. We have over 30 teams that cover Lee County.
