United Way St. Croix Valley plays a unique role as both a resource to corporate partners and as a leader in the nonprofit sector, 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 most recent independently audited 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.

Each year, local United Ways must adhere to standards set forth by United Way Worldwide to remain members in good standing. United Way St. Croix Valley’s volunteer Board of Directors certify a document attesting to our compliance, including:
We will not sell, share, or trade our donors’ names or personal information with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations. This policy applies to all information received by United Way St. Croix Valley, both online and offline, as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications.
To the extent any donations are processed through a third-party service provider, our donors’ information will only be used for purposes necessary to process and recognize the donation.

Each United Way is independently governed by a local volunteer board, in order to best meet our local needs and opportunities. We must, however, adhere to a stringent set of membership standards that focus on governance, ethics, financial management, and general operations.
United Way brings together citizens, community leaders, business, the faith community, government, nonprofit organizations and other institutions to determine the most critical human issues that require collective, not just individual, action.
These issues range from basic human needs – like food, shelter and emergency assistance – to emerging and growing issues like the need for affordable housing, services and support for seniors, and positive youth development.
United Way then raises money locally in an annual campaign, generates other revenue outside of the campaign, and secures non-cash in-kind resources in order to produce life-changing impact.
United Way is one of the few remaining not-for-profit vehicles to pool investments in order to create a greater return on the individual investment.
Your investment is unique because of our ability to mobilize resources, individuals, and institutions in a combined effort. Leveraging our relationships with such a diverse group of players produces greater results for all.
