Allocation of 2004-2005 Campaign
Funding
 Just
as United Way was kicking off its annual campaign in 2004, our area
was hit by Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. That's why United
Way and its affiliated agencies are especially grateful for
donors’ passionate response during the 2004-2005 campaign. One of the unusual
circumstances of the campaign was that designations
were up dramatically. Many more people designated their
United Way contribution to the hurricane relief fund or to particular agencies or projects
(such as the White Doves Holiday Project). The good news is that the vast
majority of the designated dollars were for United
Way-affiliated agencies and programs. But designations also
reduce the amount allocated through the Community Impact
Fund, which is designed to address the community's most
pressing needs. For all these reasons, we
felt it appropriate to show the overall funding impact of
the United Way through designations, disaster relief and the
Community Impact Fund -- a total investment of nearly $1.6
million. The table below shows
the distribution of funds
raised during the 2004-2005 campaign. An explanation of the
columns follows the table. [Printable

- Designations: Some United Way donors choose to
designate dollars strictly to a particular charity
or program rather than the overall Community
Impact Fund. If the donation was received as cash or check, the
agency has already received the funding. If the designation is
an ongoing payroll deduction or pledge, funds are deposited on
a scheduled basis over the coming months.
|
- Disaster Relief: Some donors stepped
up following the hurricanes of September 2004
and designated funding toward the disaster
relief fund. Some of the funding also came out
from the reserves of the United Way Foundation. Agencies have already
received this funding.
|
- Allocations:
This column
represents donations to United Way's Community
Impact Fund, which includes programs that
address the community's most pressing needs.
Programs go through a rigorous application and
review process with panels of volunteers from
all walks of life. This is the heart of the
United Way system and the way to assure that
donors' investments get results.
|
- * Includes
CHARACTER COUNTS!,
Success By 6,
Volunteer & Community Resource
Center,
Retired & Senior Volunteer Program
and designations to the
United Way of Martin
County Foundation and the
White Doves Holiday
Project.
|
- The 2004-05 campaign raised about $2.15
million. Of that total, about $125,000 is set
aside for unfulfilled pledges. About 15 percent
is used by United Way of Martin County for
management, general and fund-raising expenses.
Of the balance, some will go toward rebuilding
depleted emergency reserves. And some will
support community-based research, planning and
impact initiatives. In the past, this has
included involvement in the Whole Child Project,
the Shared Services Network mobilization to
reduce youth substance abuse and other community
initiatives.
