Mission &
Objectives
The mission of Twin County United Way is to make a positive
difference in the
lives of residents
of Nez Perce and
Asotin Counties by
helping them live
safe, healthy,
productive lives
OBJECTIVES
:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
