How does a non-profit organization become a United Way member agency?
United Way's Board of Directors determines on an annual basis whether to accept applications for membership. The agency membership application process is by invitation only, and it generally proceeds at the request of one of our Action Teams. Member agencies share a common purpose with our mission, and are providing services that align with our priorities. Becoming a United Way member is a multi-year process involving a thorough review of potential candidates by a team of United Way of Morris County volunteers, who examine agencies to determine their fit with our current strategies and priorities.
