Mission &
Objectives
|
The mission of Twin County United
Way
is to help the residents of Nez Perce and Asotin Counties
live safe, healthy, productive lives.
OBJECTIVES
:
-
Create
a funding
resource
for meeting
the communities'
human service
needs by
conducting
extensive
county-wide
fund raising
campaigns. This
will require
continued
expansion
of fund raising
efforts as
long as human
service needs
are not sufficiently
met by other
support systems.
-
Honor
the trusted purpose of donations by keeping fund
raising and
operating
costs low;
by allowing
donors to designate their contribution to specific United
Way affiliated programs; by distributing funds through
a system that carefully considers the priorities of human
service needs and thoroughly evaluates the purpose, effectiveness
and necessities of qualified programs applying for the
support to meet those needs, and by openly communicating
to the public how funds are raised and distributed. Fund distribution, therefore,
will be through
a comprehensive
evaluation process involving the continuous accountability
of recipient programs.
-
Foster
the cooperation
of human
service programs by
encouraging
open communication
among program
providers and identifying
inefficient
overlaps in services. This
includes
the active
support of
the United Way Agency Directors
Association,
a periodic survey of their members to identify areas of
needed interactive support, and the encouragement of collaborative
efforts to resolve human service needs.
-
Promote
a continuous
understanding
of United Way's role in building a healthy community by
widely communicating the efficient
manner United
Way provides
to raise
and distribute needed funds and declaring the value of
United Way funded programs in meeting critical community
needs. Also,
by serving
as a primary
participant in the identification and resolution of the
community's human service needs. This
will involve
a year-round
approach
to visibility
and involvement and a strong focus beyond the annual campaign
cycle.
-
Help
lead communities
in focusing
support in
high priority human service needs by
promoting
public awareness
campaigns and incorporating a system for initiative
based fund
raising efforts. This
means being
more responsive
to newly
identified
needs by
initiating solutions rather than waiting for reactions
from new or existing agencies.
-
Ensure
the operational
strength
of the
organization
by maintaining
a cost efficient
structure of
capable
employees
and volunteers
who can facilitate the organization's mission
and objectives. This
requires using
a minimum number
of employees
to identify,
train,
and coordinate a workforce of competent volunteers to
fulfill organization objectives.
