Budget

At the local level, 9.8% of the total budget is used for operational costs and fundraising expenses. It provides a salary for one part-time employee, a Hutchinson County Resident, who manages the office and all administrative functions. 1% of this administrative cost is sent to the national level.

The other 90.2% of the budget goes directly to the Program Providers. Each year the Program Providers present their needs to the Hutchinson County United Way Board of Directors. They must submit a detailed budget and how this money will be benefit Hutchinson County Residents. The BOD then decides who will receive funding and how the funds will be distributed.

• 44% Safety Net for People Crisis
• 23% Nurturing Children & Youth
