[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 287499, member: 4886"] I've notated before that having the United Way and having the opportunity for payroll deductions is a good way of contributing to the community. However, if you are deeply involved with another agency why would you donate $100 or $1,000 to the United Way so that they take their piece of the action and send the rest of it to the charity you designate? Also, I've never gotten an answer to this question. I've had a lot of people say what they thought what the answer is, but no one could give me a 100% positive answer. If I do decide to direct money to one agency. How do I know my money really went there. By this I mean, if the United Way decided to give that Agency $10,000 during the fiscal year. With my donation does that now bring them up to $10,000 plus my donation? Or is my donation now "part" of the $10,000 so that my directing money really didn't get more money to the agency I specified. Things may be a lot better, but when I did payroll a long time ago. Early 90's. I came into the dept and looked at our monthly processing of checks to the United Way coming from the employee deductions. I asked the payroll admin how do you know what to send to each United Way chapter and she pulled out an old spreadsheet that had the distribution percentages on it that we got from HR. Only thing was the paperwork was 3 years old. We were sending to the UW chapters based on what we should have done 3 years ago, not an updated copy. I fixed it for the following month by getting new paperwork from HR. However, I wonder how many other districts this was happening in. I'm hoping with the better technology they have a better way of sending the correct monies to the correct UW chapters. [/QUOTE]
