Take Action

Visiting Allocation Team

Visiting Allocation Team ( VAT) members  help make decisions about what community programs will be a good investment of United Way dollars. VATs increase program accountability to donors of United Way by requiring agencies to define how donor funds will be spent. Between early September and early November, teams of 20-25 volunteers convene to discuss agency allocation requests and determine whether funds requested will be a good investment of United Way dollars. Consider becoming a VAT member.
