Community Investment

Making sure that your contributions are invested in the best possible way to have the greatest local impact.

United Way of Horry County focuses on three impact areas: Education, Health, and Financial Stability. We work to address our county’s needs through funding organizations in our county.

To see how we are currently making an impact in our community, view our First Quarter 2020 Impact Report and our Second Quarter 2020 Impact Report. For more insight about the impact we made in 2019, read our 2019 Annual Report.

Community and corporate donations to United Way of Horry County make it possible for the organization to invest resources toward our community’s most pressing issues. For the 2019-2020 Campaign Year, United Way of Horry County allocated more than $707,000 to our partners in the community that focus on issues related to our three impact areas.

Our Process

Every spring, about 50 Community Investment Committee Volunteers work hours to review each and every organization that applies for United Way of Horry County funding.

Before any organization receives financial assistance, it has to meet rigid requirements established by this group and our local United Way Board of Directors.

A detailed application package states the mission and purpose of the organization. The application also includes legalities such as articles of incorporations, by-laws, 501©3 status filed with the IRS and a list of board members. The services of the organization are detailed and justified as a true need in our area and one that is not duplicated. The application also details a four-year comparison of all income and expenses from the organization.

After reviewing the need for the service in our county, the recommended allocation and any other suggestions from the allocation panels are submitted to the United Way Board of Directors for their approval or changes.

Each community partner is also required to submit a quarterly report to the United Way office for perusal of the Community Investment Chair and Community Impact Coordinator to ensure funds are being spent correctly and on the approved programs.

Because of these checks and balances, we are able to assure all donors that the services of the community partners are not only needed, but well managed and efficiently run.

Health

We’re making strong, strategic investments in programs that provide adults and children access to the health services they need to not only be well, but to thrive.

Education

Children’s earliest experiences –before they even enter school –can determine their ability to succeed for the rest of their lives. Early access to quality education is essential.
