United Way Offers Grant Opportunity to Qualifying Non-Profit Agencies
Agencies may request up to $5,000 in assistance from the local United Way.
The United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties has announced that it will provide an opportunity for local non-profit agencies to receive up to $5,000 through its Community Investment Grant program.
The purpose of the Community Investment Grant program is to provide assistance to those 501(c)3 agencies who are not partner agency applicants. These agencies have priorities that are aligned with United Way’s community impact priorities (education, income, health and rebuilding lives) but do not participate in the allocations process.
United Way's Community Impact Committee, composed of various business and community leaders and volunteers, will review the applications.
The community investment grant program was created in 2011 in order to expand the number of those served through agencies and programs supported by United Way.
Applications are available at http://uwrutherford.org/CommunityImpact/CommunityInvestmentGrant.aspx and are due by 12:00 PM on January 27, 2012. Application submission does not result in a guarantee for funding. Applying organizations must possess a 501C3 IRS status. Awarded funding will be paid quarterly between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013.
For questions, please contact United Way at (615) 893-7303.
