The money raised will impact the programs of United Way of Horry County's 43 Community Partners. “The panels of ‘oluateers onthe allocation committee were hard at work this year reviewing agencies and deciding on the most pressing needs in our community that are in need of funding,” states Dovg White, Community Investment Chairman. Along with the allocation amounts forthe 2011 agencies, the board of directors sel the goal with a 12% allowance for uncollected pledges; United Way cannot allocate funds that are not collected. Normally a 7% allowance (our 37 year average) is calculated into the goal; however, du to the eurrent economic conditions the lst two years have been considerably higher. The administration and campaign budgets total 17% meaning 83% of every dollar collected is allocated tothe approved services in 2011 Last year, United Way of Horry County was notable to fund new services due to the economy. This year, the board and allocations committee devided (0 use ‘money from an initiative grant to Fund seven new agencies in 2011, The initiative grant was established by the board of directors through a gift from an anonymous donor's estate.
