Unacceptable.

"As donors and organizations like United Way focus more of their dollars on big charities, the gap is growing nationally between the haves and have-nots in the nonprofit world. And in a city like Washington, which has many low-income and minority residents, the new policy raises questions about whether the people most in need of money and services will benefit from local philanthropy." 

This quote is derived from United Ways Are Wrong to Link a Charity's Size With Its Results by Pablo Eisenberg. 

Starting in 2013, the Washington United Way says it will award money only to groups that have at least $50,000 in revenue and overhead costs of 35 percent or less. They are giving money to bigger charities, and suffocating the small ones. They say this decision will increase their impact on society.

"The best way to increase United Way's impact is to support fewer small, marginally productive groups and pay more attention to high-performing organizations."

-William Hanbury, chief executive of the D.C. United Way

My question is that if the United Way really wanted to increase its impact, why didn't it exclude nonprofits that have big budgets already and do not need help to operate successfully? I do not agree with what United Way is choosing to do. They are somewhat monopolizing the nonprofit world. Unacceptable.
