New Funded Partner Visits

United Way supports many nonprofits in the tri-state area and we continue to strive to demonstrate we are making a GREAT investment in our community. Non-profits become United Way Funded Partners by submitting a grant application which includes organizational background information. Grant information also contains the program's ability to impact a community need in the areas of health, education or income. United Way is excited to share we have started an even more in depth way to get to know our Funded Partners. We recently started Funded Partner Visits and we were lucky that East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) and The Workshop were willing to be a part of this pilot project. We pulled together some of our Investment Review Panelists, which is the group of volunteers who review our grants and make funding recommendation to our Board of Directors, to determine a process for the visits with our funded partners. Those volunteers and United Way staff visited the two locations and were provided with an overview and background of the organization and programming they offer to the community. This allows us to work even more closely with the community.

Our Funded Partners & volunteers were grateful for the visits and shard the following with our team:
"What a great opportunity for us as funded partners! I appreciated the personalized questions and the casualness of the conversation. It was a great opportunity and allowed us to educate the volunteers along with sharing our impact and passion of assisting those who are homeless ." - Amanda Hohmann & Ryan Feller from East Central Development Corporation
