Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

United Way of Mahaska County empowers our communities by promoting education, encouraging healthy living, and strengthening financial stability.

  • Community Investment (Allocations): Occurs each February. After our annual campaign, a group of community volunteers come together to allocate campaign dollars to social service agencies that serve Mahaska County. Local agencies submit grant applications and make presentations outlining the programs they would like funded. In 2024, United Way of Mahaska County funded 8 local agencies. These agencies focus their efforts on addressing education, income, health, and basic needs throughout Mahaska County.

    Expenses $160,691 · Grants $160,467

  • Special Grants: United Way of Mahaska County provided a special grant to two local organizations in Mahaska County. Funding went to a program that helped local high school students fund a project that provided clothing and Christmas presents to local children in need, and the local community park rebuild.

    Expenses $26,500 · Grants $26,500

  • Take-Along Food Program: United Way of Mahaska County's Take-Along Weekend Food Program provides bags of meals, snacks, and drinks to students who struggle with food insecurity over the weekend. Each Friday during the school year, the program served approximately 168 students at Oskaloosa Elementary School, Oskaloosa Middle School, Eddyville Elementary School, and Fremont Elementary School.

    Expenses $16,512

  • Back to School Fair: Each summer United Way of Mahaska County sponsors a school supply drive, collecting school supplies and accepting donations for the purchase of backpacks and supplies. Any child or youth (preschool through 12th grade) residing in Mahaska County is eligible to receive a filled backpack through this program. In 2024, a drive-thru Back to School Fair was organized to distribute the backpacks, as well as offer shoes and socks. Agencies that offer programming for youth were able to submit information about their activities for inclusion in the backpacks. Approximately 400 backpacks were distributed to families in need. Some of the leftover school supplies were given to local schools to stock school supply closets, which teachers can utilize throughout the year. We partnered with Mahaska YMCA, Soles 4 Souls, and the school districts in Mahaska County.

    Expenses $3,675

  • Volunteer Mahaska: United Way of Mahaska County operates a Volunteer Center in Mahaska County. Local agencies are able to post volunteer needs on the Volunteer Mahaska website.

The Volunteer Center coordinated many volunteers for the Oskaloosa Summer Lunch Program in 2024.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
