Financial Information

Form 990 is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)’s designation for the tax return that most public charities are required by law to submit annually. This form is used by the IRS to assess the non-profit organization for its compliance with tax. Information contained in the form includes a summary of the organization’s activities, assets, receipts, expenditures, and compensation of directors, officers, and certain employees.

United Way of America’s completed Form 990s for calendar years 2000-2007 are below. This submission only reflects United Way of America and does not represent the United Way system as a whole. Each local United Way is required to complete an individual Form 990. To review a copy of a specific Local United Way’s Form 990, contact that United Way directly.
