Each United Way is independently governed by a local volunteer board, in order to best meet our local needs and opportunities. We adhere to a stringent set of membership standards that focus on governance, ethics, financial management, and general operations.
United Way of Lincoln County brings together citizens, community leaders, business leaders, the faith community, government, non-profit organizations, and other institutions to determine the most critical human issues that require collective, not just individual, action.
United Way of Lincoln County raises money locally in an annual campaign, generates other revenue outside of the campaign, secures non-cash in-kind resources, and advocates for sound public policy, along with employing other relevant strategies in order to produce concrete results.
Our promise to you is that we invest in the efforts that get the greatest results. We evaluate and reward results, not just effort. We govern ourselves at the highest degree of accountability and transparency. Finally, we pledge to remain one of the most efficient nonprofit organizations in the world, working to put the maximum amount of resources into the work that changes peoples’ lives and communities.
