For fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025), United Way of Central Iowa (UWCI) reported a net assets deficit of $456,761. This represents a $618,748 decrease vs prior year, driven by the factors outlined below:

Revenue:

  • Net Campaign Contributions revenue decreased by $1.38M, primarily due to overall decreases in corporate, employee, and individual giving.
  • Grants, Sponsorships, and Other Non-Campaign Contribution revenue increased by $0.48M, primarily due to the release of restricted contributions from prior years.
  • Change in Endowment balance and Investment Income were consistent with prior year.
  • Other Revenue decreased by $0.13M primarily because of a change in accounting treatment for building occupancy costs.
  • Total FY25 revenue of $20.83M reflects a $1.04M decrease vs prior year.

Expense:

  • Community Investments and Services expenses decreased by $0.47M primarily due to lower internal spending and the sunsetting of large federal grants. This was partially offset by increased community investments.
  • Administration and Fundraising expenses increased by $0.05M owing to salary increases.
  • Total FY25 expenses of $21.29M reflect a $0.42M decrease vs prior year.
