Opinions differ in the Mohawk Valley on the need to merge community agencies, depending on whose nickel is being solicited and who's passing the hat.
Leaders of most area nonprofits said they favored increased collaboration among similar agencies, but said they would stop short of merging all together to maintain a local presence.
With three United Way chapters in the local area and American Red Cross chapters in Rome and Utica, agency leaders maintained the key to effectiveness was a strong local presence with clear boundaries. Efforts to merge would undermine the agencies' disparate niches, they said."
