Programs
Community investments: for many years, united way of windham county funded agency programs which provided direct service to community members who needed them. However, a new model for determining which programs to fund was implemented in 2010. Funding decisions are based on a set of target outcomes which were identified through a comprehensive community participation process. Working under the "impact areas" of hope - health opportunity, prosperity and education, community volunteers review applications for support and recomend specific amounts of program funding based on criteria that include alignment with desired program outcomes and quality.
$373,113 spent$22,283 earned by the program89% of program spendingDonor designation: in our annual community fundraising campaign, and true to our mission to mobilize the community to improve people's lives, we provide the opportunity to donors to designate their gifts to other nonprofit organizations including united ways within the state and nationally. As a courtesy to our donors, we processed those donor designations without assessing a fee or keeping a percentage. However, all organizations receiving donor designations must annually verify compliance with provisions of the usa patriot act and verify they are an agency in good standing as an irs section 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.2M to $882k (−23%).
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 1% · 2018 1% · 2019 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
83% of UNITED WAY OF WINDHAM COUNTY INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

61% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
