@Right Turn Only At the two United Ways I’ve been involved with, something like 80% of the total funds raised are distributed to the member agencies. They think it’s a good deal - it keeps them from having to do any, or at least as much, fundraising themselves. Businesses generally like it to - it means only one fundraising campaign a year, not a dozen or more.
And if you think it’s easy figuring out who gets how much money, you should try it sometime. There’s ALWAYS at least 50% more need than there is money.
