United Way of Allen County in 2011 met United Way of America's strict membership requirements.
Among the criteria considered for membership are resource development and the organization's investment policies and decisions.
"It is critically important that all United Ways meet the highest standards and verify on paper that they have conformed to the stringent requirements of membership in the United Way system," said Brian Gallagher, president and CEO of United Way of America. "We applaud and congratulate United Way of Allen County for demonstrating their commitment by completing the recertification process."
The United Way of Allen County is part of a system of 1,350 United Ways across the country.
United Way of Allen County is also in compliance with Better Business Bureau of Northern Indiana standards.
