United Way of Fort Smith Area is a volunteer driven
organization with the United Way staff supporting
this structure. A local volunteer board of directors
governs the United Way.
The Allocation
Council is made up of board members and volunteers
who are responsible for ensuring that our donors’
gifts are invested wisely in our communities. Teams
examine our community partners and ensure that all
agencies meet accountability standards of United Way
membership. They make informed decisions on how your
gifts can make the most impact in our area. The
United Way and community partners are good stewards
of your money.
The staff is
divided into three departments, which work to
support the United Way mission –to improve lives by
connecting people and resources in our six-county
area.
Campaign
The Campaign Department has primary responsibility
for fundraising efforts. This department runs the
annual campaign and cultivates new resources and
opportunities to raise funds to support health and
human services in the communities of Crawford,
Franklin, LeFlore, Logan, Sebastian and Sequoyah
counties. This year the department is working with
community volunteers and local companies to raise
awareness about the needs in our community.
Finance and
Administration
Finance and Administration has the overall
responsibility for the maintenance of financial
records. This includes organizational assets and
investments and monitoring and reporting of
financial position.
Marketing and
Communications
The Marketing and Communications Department develops
all materials used by United Way departments
including brochures, videos, public service
announcements, newsletters, media support materials,
and Web site content. Thanks to sponsorship from
media and printing companies, the Marketing
Department is able to help create visibility and
share the good work the organization and its member
agencies do to help our community.
