United Way Ghana works with both donors and benefactors and is therefore, in a unique position to support the needs of both groups. For many corporate institutions, supporting communities in need is very much part of their corporate social responsibility. United Way Ghana offers services, which can be tailored to fit the level of community investment a corporate body wants to deliver. Similarly, community groups requiring assistance in mobilising resources and acquiring technical training can achieve these goals through United Way Ghana�s portfolio of NGO services.
We focus our efforts on interlinked programs addressing the sometimes overlapping� community development needs of grass roots NGOs, Corporate citizens, and individuals:
Our objective is to develop partnerships and networks that collaborate to identify community problems and design and execute effective sustainable solutions.
Our core strengths are
NGO Capacity Building
Technical assistance in program development and management
Maximizing ROI for corporate in the Corporate Social Investment programming
Fund raising At United Way :
We dont want to just give away more money at NGOs
We want to make sure money is awarded wisely and used wisely
We want to adopt professional performance norms to track efficiencies
Initiating a partnership with audit and consultancy firms
It is important to note that United Way Ghana seldom if ever provides services directly to the beneficiary. We work with grass roots NGOs and community based organization to strengthen their programming, monitoring, and fund raising. We focus on NGOs working in the areas of health, education, and income generation.
