What The United Way Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to improve lives through the caring power of community.

We mobilize these community resources and volunteers to meet human service needs. We connect people to services 24/7 through 2-1-1 texas.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Community services provide, maintain and refer people to various, appropriate community resources through our information and referral specialists. Our specialists are trained to work with the clients to determine not only the immediate need to be fulfilled, but other needs or root causes that factor into the problems as well. This affords us the best opportunity to direct them to the help they need. We also provide emergency assistance for travelers and families in crisis who demonstrate a validated need.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $8.4M to $7.8M (−7%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 15% · 2018 18% · 2019 18% · 2020 18% · 2021 18% · 2022 23% · 2023 23% · 2024 27% · 2025 29%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 32 funders to 38 funders, grant income rose $857k → $3.4M.
8 of 102 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $914k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Don & Sybil Harrington Foundation); $286k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest The United Way Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE UNITED WAY INC raised.
From the IRS filings of THE UNITED WAY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 102 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
THE UNITED WAY INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 32% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 18% · 2018 18% · 2019 41% · 2020 36% · 2021 43% · 2022 41% · 2023 33% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
36% of THE UNITED WAY INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
74% of THE UNITED WAY INC's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
