More about this organization
Mission
United Way of Lake County, along with its mission to 'measurably improve the quality of people's lives in Lake County', provides the most effective channel through which the community may participate in a voluntary, cooperative effort to identify, evaluate, support and fund current human service needs in Lake County. United Way of Lake County is a local, independent nonprofit organization that funds programs that focus on the building blocks to a strong, sustainable, community: education, income, and health.
About
Allocations and agency relations include the evaluation of community needs and the distribution of funds to best meet those needs. United Way of Lake County's many volunteers are critical decision-makers when making program funding decisions. Staff leads the group, but it's the collection of 50+ volunteers that meet weekly for several months to evaluate programs, make site visits, listen to agency representatives, then decides which programs will receive funding. Hundreds of companies run workplace campaigns, involving corporate gifts and special events, along with hundreds of Lake County residents that give individually that help keep the community engaged in making it a better place to live and work. These are the dollars used to allocate to the agencies that ensure needs are being met and the programs are creating measurable results.
