Donor Designation Policy | As a service to our donors, United Way of Olmsted County will process contributions designated by the donor to a specific agency. United Way will forward your contribution to the chosen organization. However, unlike gifts made to United Way’s LIVE UNITED Community Fund or targeted to one of United Way’s four focus areas, United Way cannot guarantee how these funds will be used or provide oversight to report measurable results. Read more.
