About the Chelsea United Way

Chelsea United Way is a locally run chapter of the United Way of America (UWA) umbrella brand. A volunteer Board of 21 Directors oversees our strategic direction and steers our financial decisions.

We support 13 member agencies, and we review these agencies each year to ensure they do the best possible work in the community. In this economy we must evaluate agencies on four basic criteria. Food/clothing, Healthcare, Transportation, and Senior support.

The Chelsea United Way contributes over 90% of its donations to its member agencies.

Over 35% of our donations come from direct donations from individuals in our community. 65% of the donations aome from local businesses, either through campaigns that they run for us or direct donations.
