Our Community Program Fund is a full year of financial support intended to provide the resources necessary to run full programming or operational support projects that fit all other United Way funding criteria. All approved expenses must specifically support the names project/program; these funds are not for general operation costs of the organization. If you have not used this funding stream within the last 3 years, please discuss your program plans with the United Way Executive Director prior to submitting your application.
