Show United Way Dollars at Work United Way is currently reaccessing the social needs of the Salt Lake community for the next five years. For the 1992-1993 year, United Way allocated nearly $4 million to 87 health and human service programs operated by 51 member agencies. Health and health education programs awarded funding for 1991 through 1994 include those listed in Table 2. The American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society, partner agencies with United Way, each receive a specific percentage of the annual United Way donations. For fiscal year 1993-1994 the American Cancer Society will receive $213,672, and the American Heart Association will receive $113,496. Requests for emergency funds must address a one-time need of an emergency or critical nature. Special Needs funds may be requested for important (less critical) onetime needs or opportunities, such as equipment, or to provide special training for agency staff or volunteers. Health-related grants for Emergency/Special Needs made in fiscal year 1992-1993 are listed in Table 3 (p. 144). The purpose of Targeted Needs funding is to increase the quality and quantity of critical community services in areas identified as top priorities in United Way's Community Needs Study. Targeted Needs provides onetime funding to programs, greatly increasing the capacity of United Way to respond flexibly to changing community needs. Table 4 lists some specific health and health-related needs addressed with Targeted Needs funding for the 1992-1993 fiscal year.
