deserves opportunities to have a good life. United Way of Central Oklahoma is working to advance the common good – it’s less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are committed to creating long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of our community’s most pressing problems. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.
Contributing to United Way of Central Oklahoma is about more than supporting a cause; it is about causing something to happen. Your dollars help fund programs that are proven to create change. This change doesn’t just impact the individual or family seeking assistance, it affects our entire community.
Our unique allocation system allows us to remain transparent and accountable. Donors like you volunteer their time to review United Way funded program budgets, IRS 990’s, audits and program outcomes. Following this review, volunteer teams make funding recommendations based on their findings and the program funding request, with United Way’s Board of Directors making the final funding decision. This process ensures your contribution is invested in the best possible way.
