United Fund Awards $49,480 in Special Grants

​

The United Fund awarded $49,480 in special grants to 14 of their current community partners at its recent Board of Director’s meeting. This is another way the United Fund invests in the community, through special grants to meet specific needs and support special projects. The 2024 special grants were awarded due to the success of the 2023 campaign.

​

These grants fund short-term projects or one-time expenses that will have a positive impact in the community. Joane Cunningham, Executive Director, shared, “Having exceeded campaign goal means we can further assist each of our agencies. Those agencies are eligible to receive up to $4,000. With reduction in funding a constant battle for many, this is beneficial to many non-profits that applied for the special grants.”

​

The 2024 Special Grant recipients are:
