About Us
United Way of Long Island, together with our community partners, advances the common good by investing in and developing programs that address Long Islander's critical needs in education, income/financial stability and health.
United Way is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization run by an independent volunteer board of directors. We are one of Long Island’s most cost-efficient nonprofit organizations, with 88 cents of every dollar raised given directly to community partner or client support. This exceeds the standard of 65 percent established by the Better Business Bureau. United Way of Long Island also has a four-star rating by Charity Navigator for its operational efficiency. Most importantly, donations made on Long Island, stay on Long Island.
