United Way
Oct. 31st, 2007 01:45 pmI finally gave in and decided to donate through United Way here at work. It does bug me a bit that United Way doesn't take everything I give them and give it to the specific agencies I designate, they take a percentage off for administrative costs. But this is an easy way to handle my charitable donations, and my company is doing some level of matching, so it's worth it.
My two agencies this year are Open Arms Minnesota and the Minnesota AIDS Project. I would have given it all to Open Arms, but they aren't a direct agency partner with United Way, so I can only give them 50%.
