Why Give the United Way!
It eliminates the annoyance and confusion of separate *
and oftentimes competing campaigns. I
It provides a balanced approach to meeting ALL health I
and welfare needs—not just the spectacular and easily dra- I
matized ones.
It eliminates duplication in agency services through a I
centralized budget control and a cooperative community or- I
ganization approach to determining needs and rendering I
services. I
It enables agencies, relieved of time-consuming, fund- I
raising responsibilities as a major activity to devote morel
time of both their volunteers and staff to program and ser- j
vice. 1
It reduces the cost of fund raising by consolidating the I
costs of many appeals in a single operation.
It conserves manpower by concentrating volunteer par- I
ticipation in a single solicitation effort.
It provides a method for a fair distribution of funds,
through annual budget review to local and national agencies
alike.
It provides a method for dividing most equitably among
all communities the support of national agencies whose ser
vices benefit the entire country.
It represents the giving pattern most acceptable to most
people in most communities for the financing of local, state
and national health and welfare programs.
