Requesting Proposals for 2021-2022 Programming

Oct. 14, 2020 (Racine, WI)—Thanks to the generosity of thousands of individuals and businesses who pledge support during the annual campaign, United Way invites eligible nonprofits to submit proposals for programming that will run July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. 

Organizations serving Racine County residents are eligible to submit proposals that demonstrate their programs’ alignment with United Way of Racine County’s goal of building an educated workforce. Programs must address one of United Way’s focuses: health, education, financial stability or essential services. Programming may be funded in its traditional location or within a community school as part of United Way’s place-based LIFT (Link and Inspire for Tomorrow) strategy. 

Before applying, applicants are required to attend an informational meeting at 9 a.m. on Dec. 3, 2020 to learn about the competitive investment process and receive access to the application portal. The session will be held virtually. Please register at UnitedWayRacine.org/Community-Investment-Meeting.

Proposals that meet the eligibility requirements will be reviewed by United Way of Racine County volunteers and staff. Evaluations will consider programs’ alignment with our work and their capacity to create measurable impact. Accepted organizations will be required to track the outcomes of participants in the funded program and regularly report on the program’s progress.

“Now is a critical time for many organizations in our community,” said United Way of Racine County President and CEO Ali Haigh, “and we know our community needs this support more than ever. United Way of Racine County is here to stabilize our community and the organizations that serve it during this challenging time.”
