Case Study: United Way distributes $480k in charitable funds with Tremendous

United Way distributes $480k in an ‘efficient, timely, and nimble way’ via Tremendous

United Way Worldwide partnered with Tremendous to help distribute funds from the Grocery Worker’s Appreciation Fund, which was created with Kendall-Jackson Winery to support grocery workers nationwide. Their challenge was finding a fast, secure, and flexible way to send $250 awards across the United States, especially during a global pandemic, while offering recipients both digital and physical payout options.

Using Tremendous, United Way was able to administer both Virtual Visa and Physical Visa payouts from one platform, with recipients receiving funds by text or email in minutes or by mail if preferred. The program has distributed $482,000 to nearly 2,000 people in all 50 states, with about 40% choosing electronic delivery. United Way said Tremendous made the process efficient, accountable, and low-risk, while also providing strong customer support and reliable tracking.
