United Way of Greater Newark is one of 1,300 United Ways nationwide, and operates independently of United Way of America. UWGN maintains the highest standards of professionalism, accountability and transparency in our stewardship of contributor dollars and financial management.

Our finance committee (made up of volunteers who are high-level financial professionals) oversees accounting and auditing procedures and regularly monitors the reconciling of funds in complete detail. An independent accounting firm audits UWGN books annually. The finance committee and board of directors must review and approve the annual audits.

UWGN is committed to maintaining the most effective financial control practices available to ensure that any type of financial impropriety is prevented or quickly identified and appropriately addressed.

Non-Discrimination Policy
On September 22, 1995, The United Way of Greater Newark Board of Trustees adopted an anti-discrimination policy as a component of its annual allocations process.

The United Way of Greater Newark has an ongoing commitment to embrace diversity in all aspects.

The United Way of Greater Newark endeavors to be a model of diversity and inclusion by embracing differences in race, religion, gender, disability, nationality, age, sexual orientation and ethnic background. Our organization values diversity and realizes that it is a critical component to our successes and the changing needs of our community.

This organization aspires to ensure that our volunteers and staff broadly reflect the diversity of the community we serve. However, there are transitional situations which change the ethnic make-up of our employees and Board of Trustees as people leave and new people are recruited. We are an equal opportunity employer and strive to recruit the best staff and board we can based on skills, experience and level of commitment to organizational goals.
