About the Chelsea United Way
Chelsea United Way (CUW) is a locally run chapter of the United Way of America (UWA) umbrella brand.
A volunteer Board of 21 directors oversee the strategic direction and steers the financial decisions.
CUW supports sixteen member agencies and review these agencies annually to ensure they do the
best possible work in the community.
The Chelsea United Way contributes over 90% of collected donations to member agencies.
Over 35% of CUW donations come from direct donations from individuals in the Chelsea community. 65% of the donations come from local businesses, either through campaigns that they run (for us) or direct donations.
