United Way donations impact our communities by providing Community Grant Funds to non-profit agencies that improve Child Well-being & Youth Success, Income, and Health in Curry, Roosevelt, and Quay Counties.
Any 501(c)3 non-profit that serves residents of Curry, Roosevelt, or Quay Counties with programs that impact Child Well-being & Youth Success, Income, and Health may apply for a grant. Every year 20-30 volunteers review the grant applications, listen to presentations from the applying agencies, and submit the recommended funding levels to the UWENM Board of Directors for approval.
Because UWENM funding decisions are made by community volunteers, those decisions best reflect the needs, issues, and values of your community. The Board of Directors feels that this is the best way to ensure that UW stays true to the values of our donors.
