United Way
Name Change
2002 brought the most significant
change to the agency since its beginning. Due to national
accountability rules instituted to provide financial oversight for
national firms, Jackson County United Fund became a member of United
Way of American and became Jackson County United Way
While the name changed, the
organization did not. All local dollars are managed by a local board
of directors and all decisions are made at the local level. All
local donors can be assured their pledges are working in Jackson
County, serving Jackson County programs.
