Your Donation Has Power. 
Our annual campaign is up and running with individuals, local businesses, and organizations in full campaign swing working to help us meet our $1.3M fundraising goal to support United Way and our 25 member agencies.
The early returns are in and we are thrilled to see such strong early community support.
Thanks to these organizations for their active commitment to our community:

Congratulations to member agency Catholic Charities Bloomington for being the first to finish its United Way workplace campaign and raising over $300! |

Be a Tax Hero! 
The Free Community Tax Service, led by United Way of Monroe County, is currently seeking volunteers for the 2016 tax season at program sites in Bloomington, Ellettsville, and Spencer. If you'd like to be a Tax Hero, get in touch with us by November 13, 2015.
The Free Community Tax Service helps low- and moderate-income residents file federal and state returns for no charge, claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, and receive 100 percent of their refund quickly and easily.
Volunteers do not need to have any prior experience with preparing taxes, only a desire to help others. Volunteers will receive complete training and support to become IRS-certified Tax Preparers. Detailed info at www.financialstabilityalliance.org/volunteer.html.
