That may be your local United Way's policy. Some United Way's
separate out specifically designated monies and direct all of them
(less an administrative fee) to the designated agency. This is
separate from any process followed for general fund distribution.
It varies from location to location. Check with your local United Way
to see what they do.
Take care,
John
