How We Invest

One of the most important roles United Way of Hall County has is investing donor dollars effectively and efficiently. Each year, over 50 trained and committed community volunteers build relationships with Partner Agencies and Community Partners to invest contributions in the four focus areas of Children & Youth, Crisis Intervention, Self Sufficiency, and Health. Of all funds raised, 99 cents out of every dollar stays with United Way of Hall County. With the help of corporate sponsorships to defray costs and responsible financial stewardship, United Way can maximize your donation to improve lives in Hall County.
