How does an organization apply to receive funding from United Way?
-
United Way invites applications from organizations that can demonstrate measurable results in addressing issues our community has identified as most important in the areas of education, income and health. Agencies seeking more information can contact Jon Parker, Vice President, Community Building, at jon.parker@uwbg.org.
-
United Way also supports nonprofits by providing technical assistance, matching and training volunteers, connecting those seeking help with available resources through 2-1-1 and much more.
Does our United Way support the Boy Scouts?
-
Each of the 1,100 local and autonomous United Ways decides for itself whether to support each program, and nonprofit organization, based on community needs. This year, United Way of the Bluegrass volunteer leaders have chosen to continue investing in Boy Scout programs. These volunteers, from all walks of life, grapple with difficult decisions about where best to invest contributions each year. They believe that thousands of local boys—including hard-to-reach, low-income, at-risk youth—greatly benefit from Scouting's proven record of safe, structured after-school programs.
Do any United Way grantees perform abortions?
-
No. Abortion is not funded through United Way of the Bluegrass.
