The community investment process involves much more than just distributing funds to partner providers. United Way of Racine County and its investment committee volunteers work hard throughout the year to make sure that partner providers are adhering to United Way guidelines, have the tools and training available to provide quality service to their clients, and network to discuss best practices and key outcomes relative to the services they provide. There is a one-time annual application process for those organizations that have approval to submit an application. Organizations new to the United Way funding process must first submit a form to secure approval by United Way’s Community Investment Committee.
All funding requests, must go through United Way of Racine County’s Partner Provider Community Investment Web Site that is accessed through our United Way web site with a log-in password. Communication between United Way and the funded programs, along with any required compliance documents and reporting, is conducted through the investment web site. United Way volunteers also use the Volunteer Community Investment Web Site for their review, communications and scoring of applications.
See the Community Investment Policies and Procedures Manual for complete information.
