Pros

I love advocating for change and improving the community in which I live and work and raise my children.

Cons

It is very hard to communicate what we do because it is so broad. Because of this, United Ways across the world have seen a huge decline in their campaigns. To make up for the losses, few United Ways are transitioning away from the "fundraising style" and moving toward a "community impact" style of operation which focuses more on the issues in the community, and losses are being made up with grants.
