Our supporters


We thank these generous supporters for their annual gift of $1,000 or more. Without their commitment to the Waverly-Shell Rock Area United Way, we would not be able to improve lives and strengthen the education, income, and health of our communities.


More than 5,000 local people are served by the W-SR Area United Way and 19 programs funded thanks in part to these sponsors.

view our finances


United Way plays a unique role as both a resource to member United Ways and as a leader in the non-profit sector in building trust through all we do. This bond of trust goes beyond legal or regulatory requirements to include transparency, a core value we hold dear. We believe that a key element of transparency is freely sharing not only our IRS Form 990 (as required by law) but also our independently reviewed financial statements. It is our hope that doing so demonstrates our commitment to public accountability for the financial stewardship of the assets our donors have entrusted to us.
