The Defined Benefit Pension Plan of United Way of Greater Toledo and Affiliated Agencies is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by United Way of Greater Toledo of Toledo, Ohio. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 1,000 participants, 49 of them active, and net assets of $34.4M. It is a multiple-employer plan covering the employees of more than one employer.
Net assets came to $34,410 per participant, well below the $87,935 median for defined benefit plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well below the $110,377 median for defined benefit plans in other services. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Employer contributions were $849K for the year ($17,316 per active participant) and benefits paid were $3.1M. In a defined benefit plan the employer's contribution follows funding rules rather than a match formula, so it can swing widely from year to year.
Schedule C lists 3 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $159K: $159 per participant, well below the same-size median of $325. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $313K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $29.4M in 2009 to $34.4M in 2024 (up 17%), and participants from 1,615 to 1,000 (down 38%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is The Defined Benefit Pension Plan of United Way of Greater Toledo and Affiliated Agencies?
1,000 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 49 were active employees, with net assets of $34,409,824. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 1,540 plans in plan year 2024.
What does United Way of Greater Toledo contribute per participant?
The filing reports $848,507 in employer contributions for the year, which is $17,316 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,593 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $159,261 in compensation to service provider organisations, $159 per participant or 0.46% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $325 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $312,769. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is United Way of Greater Toledo. Recordkeeping or administration: MG Trust Co. d/b/a Matrix Trust. Trustee or custodian: MG Trust Co. d/b/a Matrix Trust. The financial statements were audited by Rehmann Robson LLC. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 14 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
