Many United Ways work in concert with United Way Worldwide, an association providing a system through which local organizations can act in unison on major issues affecting health and human services nationally. United Way Worldwide acts as a resource, a trade association if you will. Membership provides annual training opportunities, large scale advertising campaigns and assistance with market research and planning. United Way of Brevard has chosen to voluntarily associate with them.
United Way of Brevard has also opted to voluntarily associate with a statewide group – United Way of Florida. Through advocacy efforts, its staff and volunteers present the views of the human service community to the Executive and Legislative Branches of the Florida State Government.
