United Way Opens New Grant Cycle
|
For more than 100 years, United Way of Salt Lake has partnered with nonprofit
agencies in Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele counties to make a difference
in our community. Each Community Partner receives grants from United Way of Salt
Lake. We invest in 63 community partners, 163 programs, and four strategic
initiatives that create a brighter future in our community.
Every three years United Way of Salt Lake undergoes its grant cycle, through
which our existing community partners must reapply for grants and new non-profit
and public service providers are invited to apply. UWSL is now in the midst of
the 2008-2011 grant cycle and we encourage all non-profit organizations and
established public entities to apply.
As a facilitator of change, our goal has been and always will be to maximize the
delivery of services, through which we can implement individual changes in
knowledge, skills, health, and behavior. The grant renewal cycle helps to ensure
that UWSL and its community partners are in sync regarding UWSL’s priorities and
objectives, that we are achieving the results we seek, and that there is no
duplication of effort.
We are looking forward to another successful grant cycle, and hope to receive
many grant applications. And thanks to the generosity of our cornerstone
Partners—those local corporations and foundations that provide the resources for
UWSL's costs of doing business—we are proud to say that 100 percent of every
personal contribution received by UWSL works to improve lives and to meet the
greatest needs in the communities we serve. No personal contributions support
UWSL's administrative expenses.
