Becoming a United Way partner agency signifies more than just a collaboration; it marks a commitment to a shared vision of uplifting and supporting our community's most vulnerable.
As a partner agency, you join a network of dedicated nonprofit organizations working to address critical issues such as Championing Children's Issues, Fighting Hunger, Promoting Safety & Health, Supporting Safe Housing and Fostering Financial Stability. Together, we strive to create a safety net of comprehensive support that enables individuals and families to thrive.
Partner agencies apply for and receive funding generated through our Annual Campaign, which in 2023 raised $2 million for disbursement in 2024. Funding is recommended by a revolving group of trained community volunteers serving on Impact Teams. These volunteers review partner agencies' annual grant applications and make recommendations to our board of directors on which nonprofits to fund and and what level.
United Way partner agencies also have access to a range of support services aimed at enhancing your capacity to deliver impactful programs and services. We provide funding opportunities, technical assistance and networking platforms to foster collaboration and innovation. Additionally, you'll benefit from ongoing communication and collaboration with our team, ensuring alignment with our shared goals and objectives.
Beyond financial support, becoming a partner agency opens doors to a community of like-minded organizations, each bringing unique expertise and perspectives to the table. Through collective action and shared learning, we amplify our impact and drive sustainable change in areas that matter most.
If your nonprofit organization is passionate about making a difference in our community, we invite you to join us as a partner agency. Together, we can build a brighter future for all, where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
