accountability & financials

When you give to United Way, your dollars are going to effective programs that improve health, education, and financial stability in Indian River County.

United way of Indian River County would not be a successful agent for change without the trust and confidence of its donors and volunteers. To continue to earn that trust, we have established comprehensive accountability guidelines that are regularly viewed by our Board of Directors and Finance Committee. As part of our efforts to be both accountable and transparent in our operations, our annual audit and IRS Form 990 are available.
