The most important part of what the United Way does is about to begin. In the first months of the new year we will identify the programs to be funded in 2009. People from across the region have given generously, not to support the United Way, but the agencies who serve people in need. This money has been given with the understanding we will invest those donated dollars in the most effective programs. This is a responsibility we take seriously.
In February we will issue a request for proposals to area agencies. Once received, these applications will be reviewed by our Citizen Action Team (CAT). This group of volunteers from our community will make recommendations for funding to the United Way's Board of Directors. The grant review process is truly a community effort and reflects our commitment that the United Way is a community initiative.
