United Way accepting funding requests

United Way of VW County information

United Way of Van Wert County announces that preparations are underway to begin the admissions and review process for 2015. New agencies are welcome to apply.

To be considered, an organization must be incorporated not-for-profit and IRS-exempt. It must also have an active volunteer board and have some financial and program management.

During April and May, a committee made up of local volunteers will meet to study funding requests. This committee then makes its funding recommendations to the United Way Board of Trustees in June. Once approved by the board, agencies are notified of funding decisions.

Any organization wanting to receive an application may contact the United Way office at 419.238.6689 to request an application.

Deadline for applications is Tuesday, March 31.
