What is the Franklin-Southampton Area United Way?
The Franklin-Southampton Area United Way (F.S.A.U.W.)
is a local, non profit organization that raises funds and distributes those
funds to health and human service organizations in our community.
Who decides where the money goes?
Allocation decisions are made by volunteers from
all walks of life in our community. These experienced volunteers, knowledgeable
of local needs, monitor agencies to ensure that your donation is
well spent.
How are agencies chosen for funding?
Each year, any organization seeking F.S.A.U.W. funding
is required to submit a written proposal for funding as well as give an
oral presentation to the Citizens Review Board volunteers as requested.
Each agency is carefully reviewed to ensure that the dollars allocated
to programs serve those individuals in need, and that the agencies are
both fiscally and managerially sound.
How much of my gift really goes to help people?
During 1997, the Franklin-Southampton Area United Way
received special funding given specifically to substantially cover administrative
expenses.
Are there benefits to southampton county residents?
Yes. Most definitely. Nearly all of our agencies have
direct impact in Southampton County. In fact, 1994 figures indicate that
nearly half of the agencies funded by the F.S.A.U.W. found that the majority
of their recipients lived in Southampton County.
Should you give to the F.S.A.U.W.

volunteer board, ensures the proper distribution of your contribution here
