About
United Way of Kent County, Maryland raises funds to support oustanding local charities and non-profit organizations serving those in need in our community. These Member Agencies provide emergency services, crisis intervention, self-sufficiency programs and youth support.
United Way and its MemberAgencies work together to ensure a better standard of living for all the citizens of Kent County.
The United Way of Kent County volunteer Board is responsible for identifying County needs and recommending support for local agencies responding to them. It is clear that very basic needs must be met during this difficult time when government funds may be limited. Thus, United Way is stressing support of those agencies which offer food, shelter, and other basic necessities.
Selection of Member Agencies
Those selected as Member Agencies must have demonstrated fiscal integrity and sound management. Grants are authorized to Member Agencies in amounts which depend on the contributions received from United Way donors.
Funding for Member Agencies
Funds are raised to assist organizations serving the people of Kent County. Contributions are fully tax-exempt. Donations are received annually from more than 600 individuals and businesses and range from Platinum Club gifts of $10,000 or more to gifts of $25 or less. Payroll deductions play an important role and range from amounts as large as $2,600 to those of $1 per week. Together these contributions comprise the funds available to assist the Member Agencies.
