It was our goal to invest in those programs that can expand their success rate to a larger population of people. Additionally, these programs can be used as role models for other programs around the community to modify their services towards greater success. All of united way's awarded programs are monitored throughout the year so as to ensure that donor dollars are being used effectively and efficiently. Agencies report quarterly on their outcomes achieved as well as on the successes and challenges. Agencies provide a quantitative numeration of their progress during that time frame. United way staff and volunteers formerly visit the programs as part of our monitoring process. Should an agency fall out of compliance with united way's partnership and or program agreements, payment disbursements will cease until our volunteer committees have made a successful reevaluation. In the event that further evaluations are unsuccessfully reviewed, the program will be terminated from receiving the united way investment and the remainder of the funding will be redirected into the community impact fund for future funding investments.
