Community Impact Areas
2009 Community Impact Grants
In keeping with the United Way Mission , Making a positive difference for our communities, the UWNO Board of Directors is committed to offering an annual short term grant program to member agencies. The goal is to fund one or more special projects that bring together resources in our community to make an impact in under-served areas of need. Hopefully these projects will involve community collaborations to solve problems that might not otherwise be able to be addressed. The Community Impact Grant is a one-time-only allocation, and it is being offered to the agencies we presently serve.
