Füzesy joins United Way Hungary from the Bátor Tábor Foundation, where he was responsible for growing that foundation from a three-person operation to one of the leading NGO’s in Hungary. “We are pleased to have Tamás on board at United Way Hungary,” said László Czirják, Chairman of United Way Hungary’s Board of Trustees. “We are confident that his positive character and valuable experience in the not-for-profit sector will help take United Way to the next level,” he continued. “We also want to thank Steven Greimann for his great contributions.”

Füzesy has already begun the transition to his new role. “I’m excited to work with the extended United Way Hungary team, which includes not only the wonderful staff and professional board of trustees but also a countless number of volunteers. It’s clear everyone is committed to making a difference in Hungary through a creative Community Impact Agenda,” Füzesy said.

About United Way Hungary

The United Way Hungary network was established in 1991 to strengthen civil society by supporting critical health and human services based on needs assessments at the community level. The national organization, United Way Hungary (incorporated as Erőforrás Foundation), was established in 1998, and is a member of United Way Worldwide. United Way Hungary must adhere to strict requirements of accountability, transparency, effectiveness and efficiency.

In order to remain a member of the global network, United Way Hungary annually verifies its compliance with United Way Worldwide’s global requirements. The United Way Hungary network has three local affiliates. Together, we fund and develop programs to address pressing social, health and education issues. Network members are United Way Vértes Vidéke, United Way Kiskunfélegyháza, and United Way Kisalföld.

United Way Hungary's strategic direction shifted in recent years to leading an effort to raise awareness and prevent accidents, and aid those caring for children injured in accidents. This shift reflected a desire to concentrate limited resources and realize greater results. In 2010, the organization completed its Community Impact Agenda, which turned the organization's full attention to prevention and finding solutions to community problems."
