You helped raise
$4.8 million
in 2007-2008!
United Way of the Piedmont fundraising involves hundreds of volunteers and more
than 11,000 contributors throughout Spartanburg, Cherokee and Union Counties.
Diligence and good stewardship helps United Way of the Piedmont keep its costs
to 10%, meaning that 90 cents of every dollar donated goes back into the community
in the form of programs and services. (According to the Better Business Bureau,
charities are meeting the highest standards of efficiency if their costs are below
35%.)
Fundraising is a high priority for United Way, but not the highest. “We are all
about community impact, and fundraising is a strategy to that end,” states Brian
Gallagher, United Way of America CEO.
