United Way-Funded Nonprofit Partners
United Way is proud to call the following local organizations “partners.” They work in collaboration with each other and United Way to achieve greater results than they could individually. Your donation to our United Way turns into critical funding in two ways:
Organizational Grants
Rice County Area United Way is a major funder of "foundational" funding for Rice County nonprofits proven to make a difference in improving lives. This funding allows nonprofits the flexibility to respond to current needs. We trust our partners' on-the-ground judgment about how to best allocate resources to meet the greatest needs. Our organizational grants also give partners stability. We're proud they can count on us.
Below, all nonprofits with no description have received Organizational Grants. Learn more about them by clicking the logos.
Program Grants
Donations also go to specific programs. These are often innovative programs. We know there is some risk in newer programs, but we believe in supporting problem-solvers by funding well-concepted programs.
