Overview and Previous Reports
Every few years, United Way creates a needs assessment to help determine funding priorities for the agency. This report identifies areas of critical need and is based on available data from community leaders, county, state and city representatives, volunteers and donors. Research also includes data collected from local human service agencies, and at the city, county, state and federal levels.
United Way convenes the Needs Assessment process at regular intervals. This year, United Way is expanding the assessment process to collaborate with regional stakeholders (i.e. individuals, organizations, communities, etc.) in a new way.
