What does my gift to the Community Fund support?
We have a Community Investment Panels (CIP) that makes all funding decisions. The CIP is comprised of donors and volunteers who know what the needs are in our community. These volunteers interview all grant applicants and work together to decide what programs are most beneficial to our communities. United Way does due diligence when it comes to accounting for grant dollars. All agencies receiving funding must report back to United Way in the form of grant reports and must also provide information and stories regarding how funding has been used to support the funded programs. When the year has ended, United Way requests that all agencies complete a year-end impact report regarding their program. This report is required and funded programs must meet all requirements to be eligible for future grants. Additionally, United Way Board of Directors and volunteers make annual on site visits to the agencies to complete an onsite evaluation and impact report.
A leadership gift is any annual gift of $500 or more.
Designations can be made in one of two ways. You can choose among the three impact areas – Health, Education, or Financial Stability – and let the Community Investment Panel evaluate the applications and make, as well as monitor, grants for programs that will achieve your goal of making a real difference in the area you care most about. This is the most effective way to designate your donation and have the impact you desire. Designations can also be made to any registered 501(c)3 nonprofit, but we encourage you to keep your designation local! You are encouraged to provide the mailing address for your selected nonprofit to insure proper designation. A designation can be made as long as the gift is $50 or more. Every effort to properly assign your designation will be made. In the case that the organization is not IRS Compliant or the minimum donor threshold is not met, the donation will be assigned to the Community Investment Panel.
