FINANCIALS

Administrative Costs

Our administrative costs remain fairly consistent from year to year but the amount of pledges and donations we raise each year does vary. It’s that variable of “monies raised” that causes our percentage of administrative expenses to change from year to year. This is why we have chosen to state our percentage of administrative expense as an average percentage instead of an actual percentage. Over a three year period, United Way of Central Oklahoma’s administrative expenses average approximately 12 percent.

Tax Documentation

Donors who contribute a minimum of $250 in a single payment of cash, check, credit card or stock gifts will receive documentation of their gift for tax purposes. Should you donate less than $250, you may request a tax receipt by emailing info@unitedwayokc.org.

Financial Reports

United Way of Central Oklahoma works to maintain the utmost integrity in transparency, accountability and accuracy in our financial records and reporting. We file Form 512E with the Oklahoma Tax Commission, as well as Form 990 to the IRS.
