Local Benefits

---

United Way of Forsyth County is a local, autonomous organization whose Board of Directors as well as Dawson County's Advisory Board makes decisions based on the needs of each of their local communities. The staff and volunteers are your friends, neighbors, and co-workers with a vested interest in Forsyth and Dawson County. The Federal Government recommends 25% or less in overhead expenses for nonprofit organizations. Approximately 12% of United Way of Forsyth County funds are spent on overhead expenses, allowing more dollars to go back into the community to help others. Money raised in your community stays in your community!
