Typically, we prefer to fund programs that, coupled with our community focus, serve as long-term partnerships to benefit the community, the organization and our business strategy. Sponsorships are nice and we know they serve a key purpose for organizations. However, we are looking for more value-added, sustaining programs to fund. I noticed that you do not fund United Way affiliated agencies. Our organization is not a United Way affiliated agency, but we received donor-opted monies.
Many organizations receive donor-opted monies from around the country.
Those organizations can submit a proposal for funding, but only if it fits within our guidelines for the remainder of our program focus.
