In 2009, it joined forces with United Way of America to become United Way Worldwide.

Grassroots Initiatives: Shape an International Movement (2004) by Dick & Mary Lu Aft The knowledge, techniques, and processes that define United Way were developed by small groups of people who sought to improve conditions in their communities and their countries. The core idea of combining social planning and federated fundraising spread quickly and successfully. To this day, United Way continues to adapt to social changes and improves the quality of life of people in need. Price: $14.95 |
