About United Way of the Eagle River Valley
We've moved our address! Please note our new address:
UnitedWayEagle.org
The United Way is a National Network of nearly 1,300 local organizations that work to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health.
In Eagle County, our mission is to serve kids, family and community by raising funds and granting those monies to a wide variety of non-profits that support our mission and the needs of our valley residents.
All money raised in Eagle County stays in Eagle County.
United Way of America is the national service and training center for local United Ways. United Way of America has no control over United Way of Eagle River Valley. We are run by our own local Board of Directors.
United Way of America provides to local United Way's: national promotions/NFL partnership advertising; name recognition, trademark and logo; research on national giving trends; volunteer and staff training; national database and network for exchange of information; and a unified voice in national government relations.
United Way of America is a professional trade association and does not raise or distribute funds. We pay a small membership fee of less than two percent of the amount raised and in return United Way of Eagle River Valley receives services and marketing assistance that would cost thousands of dollars if we had to purchase them separately.
Financial World magazine, in its March 29, 1994, issue, selected United Way of America as the charity of choice for its leadership in nonprofit ethics and accountability.
