To ensure that services funded by your United Way dollars are efficient and effective, the standards for admission to the United Way family of agencies are high.  Applying agencies mush have a 501 (c)(3) non profit status and render charitable, philanthropic, education, health or welfare services for the benefit of residents of Aiken County.  The agency must have been in existence for one year at the time of application for agency status/program funding to the United Way, must have a volunteer board of directors and at least one full-time professional staff member.  In addition, the organization must have an annual audit and regular business hours of operation.  For further information, please contact Sharon L.
