It’s easy to get your agency listed in the United Way 2-1-1 database.
We are in the process of creating a comprehensive listing of community
resources across the Mobile, Washington and Clarke county communities
with future service planned for Choctaw and Monroe Counties.
| Criteria for Agency Inclusion in the Information
and Referral Directory |
| 1. |
The service must be accessible to the public. Accessibility
implies offering services which are free of charge or on a sliding
scale fee. This ensures that people who cannot afford private sector
services can still obtain competent, quality care. |
| 2. |
Organizations which provide specific services in health, human services,
welfare, support, education or advocacy and:
a) are not-for-profit- corporations (Internal Revenue Service 501(c)3
status)
b) do not charge a fee for their services (i.e. churches, support
groups, service clubs, etc.)
c) are government agencies providing health and human services will
be included. |
| 3. |
For-profit agencies are considered on an individual basis. Inclusion
is based on uniqueness of service, lack of comparable services from
a nonprofit group or agency, perceived degree for the need and level
of subsidized services available. |
| 4. |
United Way 211 reserves the right to edit information to meet format,
guideline and space requirement. |
| 5. |
United Way 211 reserves the right to refuse or discontinue listings.
|
| 6. |
Inclusion of an agency or organization does not imply or represent
endorsement by the Family Counseling Center/Lifelines or United Way
of Southwest Alabama. |
| 7. |
Whenever appropriate, agencies should be in compliance with organizational
licensure or regulatory authority. |
