Success means measurable improvements in the communities we serve. Setting high standards for ourselves and for our local partners is critical to that success.  

Annually, all United Ways across the world certify their adherence to standards that include comprehensive requirements for financial reporting, governance, and other legal and ethical obligations. United Way of Henderson County has met all certification standards for 2022. We are a tax-exempt nonprofit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Designation Policy

Making an unrestricted gift to United Way of Henderson County (UWHC)’s general Community Investment Fund is the most effective way to help our whole community. Gifts will improve education, financial stability, health, and crisis services so that people most in need will have the best chance of success. United Way encourages all donors to make at least fifty percent (50%) of their contributions as unrestricted gifts to UWHC. However, UWHC understands that a donor may choose to direct all or a portion of his or her gift and will honor that designation according to the following policy.
