United Way Hungary operates as the central coordinator for the national United Way network, linking affiliates, managing a national fundraising strategy and providing training throughout the locally-based network. The United Way distributes funds across Hungary through a transparent grants program which supports quality projects in health care, education and social services. Of particular interest this year are programs that help families with chronically ill or disabled children and those that re-train unemployed workers for a new job market. Nonprofit organizations can receive grants through a bidding process, in which an independent, voluntary committee judges their application.
