United Way of the Inland Valleys
formed in 1931 by community leaders for raising funds to support
health and human care services provided by United Way affiliated
agencies through a single fund-raising campaign. United Way
also collaborates with other community groups in problem-solving
projects such as Blueprint
for Volunteer Diversity Leadership Development Program. United Way of the Inland Valleys
is an autonomous organization.
One in every three people in Western
Riverside County directly benefits from programs and services
offered through United Way affiliated agencies.
United Way was created by the
community, for the community and community
volunteers oversee the systems and processes to assure
effectiveness, efficiency, and trustworthiness.
United Way of the Inland Valleys
is Effective
Local dollars fill local needs at local agencies governed
by local volunteers.
Over 100 local experienced volunteers distribute funds based
on community priorities and needs.
Many United Way agencies leverage United Way dollars for additional
funding, thus increasing the capacity to serve.
United Way agencies are accountable for providing high quality,
critical health and human need services at a reasonable cost
and are themselves governed by volunteer boards.
United Way of the Inland Valleys
is Efficient
United Way fundraising and administrative costs of 14% compare
favorably with National Charities Information Bureau Guidelines
of no more than 25% for nonprofit agencies.
United Way can collect and disburse more money at a lower
cost because volunteers assist with every aspect of its operation.
United Way of the Inland Valleys is accountable to its donors.
An independent CPA firm, as well as United Way’s volunteer
Finance Committee, audits all United Way records annually.
Audits are available upon request.
United Way of the Inland Valleys
is Trustworthy
United Way partners with the best local businesses, schools
and community-based organizations to evaluate the effectiveness
of our efforts to improve the community.
Volunteer review teams are carefully trained to invest funds
in programs that address the greatest local needs.
Partner health and human service organizations value the credibility
and opportunities for collaboration through our relationships.

leaders, who, through their involvement in United Way, govern
policy and performance.
