United Way of the Tanana Valley has 23 member agencies offering services to assist senior citizens, strengthen families and youth, promote self-sufficiency, improve health, and help people with disabilities. Ninety percent of these gifts go directly to helping people in the Tanana Valley. The other 10 percent of  donations help pay for fundraising and administration costs at United Way.
