Char-Em United Way Funding Applications Available |
Char-Em United Way’s 2012 Community Investment Allocation process has begun. Non-profit agencies which provide programs and services meeting the health and human service needs of Charlevoix and Emmet Counties are encouraged to submit a Letter of Intent to apply for funding.
Letter of Intent applications can be requested by contacting Char-Em United Way at 487-1006. They can also be downloaded from United Way’s website www.charemunitedway.org. Letters of Intent are due by January 13. The submissions will be reviewed by the United Way Allocation Committee, and agencies which meet United Way’s funding criteria and priorities will be invited to submit a complete application.
“We are pleased to announce this year’s funding availability,” states Martha Lancaster, Executive Director. “In 2011, we made Community Investment Allocations of $204,065 to 29 programs of 30 agencies in grants ranging from $650 to $20,000. This year, we hope to be able to provide even more funding. We have increased our Campaign goal to meet the increasing community need and hope that we will reach it. We are still accepting contributions, and all donations received through the end of April will be awarded in this investment cycle.”
CEUW’s 2012 funding priorities focus on meeting the community’s needs for Education, Income and Health. More information on these priorities, as well as other criteria for eligible programs and agencies is available from United Way.
“These priorities will ensure that, with the increased need in our community for health and human services and with limited dollars available, our Community Investment Allocations are being made as wisely as possible,” continues Lancaster. “And our investors (donors) want to know that we are making the greatest possible impact in the areas of need identified by our community. Therefore, CEUW is focusing on measuring results in programs and sharing our priorities with the community more effectively.”
Agencies invited to submit a full application will be scheduled to make a presentation to CEUW’s Citizen Review Panel in April. The Citizen Review Panel reviews the requests for funding, hears presentations, seeks additional information, and makes recommendations to the United Way Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will meet in May to consider the recommendations of the Panel and to make Community Investment Allocation decisions.
For more information about Char-Em United Way or the application process, contact CEUW at 231-487-1006 or info@charemunitedway.org or write P O Box 1701, Petoskey MI 49770. Complete application information is available online at www.charemunitedway.org.
