The United Way of Southeastern Michigan is taking a welcome step to becoming more efficient about how it targets fund-raising money. Besides trying to measure how the organizations it funds perform, it is also surveying where it should spend its money.

The charitable organization traditionally has focused on funding social services activities, but it is surveying area leaders as well as the public about how to sharpen its focus. You can go to the United Way's Web site at www.uwsem.org/ or call 2-1-1 to take its Community Action Survey by phone. It's a good way for Metro Detroiters to help the nonprofit group stretch dollars and make them work better.
