The United Way of Rockbridge (UWR) has announced its annual funding allocation process for calendar year 2024.
Application packets will be issued to all of UWR’s currently funded agencies. UWR also encourages other community- based, not-for-profit organizations that provide health, education (especially early childhood education), welfare, and social services to the residents of the Rockbridge area to inquire about funding applications and the allocation process.
To request an application packet, contact UWR Executive Director Jennifer Dent at (540) 463-4482 or [email protected]. The UWR office is located at 218 S. Main St., P.O. Box 1094, Lexington 24450. Completed applications are to be returned to UWR no later than 5 p.m., Friday, June 30.
In addition to safety-net agencies that serve to support the health and welfare of local residents, UWR is looking to support agencies that have programs and projects related to the UWR community impact initiative of strengthening education and healthy families, beginning with early childhood, and making sure that every child has an opportunity to succeed in school and to develop into a well-informed, responsible citizen. Agencies are encouraged to strengthen their applications by demonstrating efforts and submitting programs that support early childhood initiatives within our community.
Volunteer UWR community reviewers will contact agencies in July and the UWR Allocations Committee will review applications and reviewer recommendations in August. Their recommendations for 2024 funding allocations will be submitted to the UWR board of directors, which will act on the recommendations at its September board meeting.
UWR invites residents interested in serving as community reviewers of applications in July to contact the United Way office for information.
