Partner Agency Funded Programs

Maui United Way Partner Agencies work to address Maui’s most vital needs. Through a volunteer committee, Maui United Way identifies programs that are essential to the health of our community. Last year, Maui United Way’s partner programs provided 62,319 services for people in need.

We strive to partner with agencies that represent the best of our community. Our Partner Agencies must adhere to strict compliance United Way requirements called our Standards of Excellence, evaluating an organization’s overall governance, financial management & fiscal responsibility, legality, program management and human resources.

Every three years, our Partner Agencies apply for programmatic funding from our Community Action Fund (General Fund) to support needs that align with our impact areas of Education, Income or Health. Through the work of 30 community volunteers, Partner Agency programs are evaluated and awarded funding through a process that reviews:

How vital is this program to our community?
How many people are reached through this service?
Is there a distinct quality of service offered?
Is there any duplication of this program in our community? If so, is there collaborating opportunities?
Is this agency fundraising for this program in an effort to offset funding requirements?

Maui United Way’s goal is to offer donors an easy way to give that they can feel good about! We offer a diverse array of the most vital programs needed to keep our community healthy and strong, while strategically aligning with programs that address the underlying issue and allow MUW to tackle problems at the root causes.

When you give to Maui United Way, you can rest assured that your gift is going to non-profits that function at the highest level of excellence and get results that matter.

Please feel free to review our Criteria & Policy on our CI Grant Funded Agencies.
