Always at work in our community....because Community Matters!

Each year many local non-profit agencies go through a multi-step application process to receive United Way funding. Those who are approved to receive funding are called United Way Member Agencies.  Our fourteen current Member Agencies are listed below. 

In addition to providing funds to our Member Agencies, United Way of Greater Monroe County also makes smaller grants available to other local non-profit groups. These smaller grants are called Venture Grants. Recent Venture Grant recipients include: Amory’s Quality Education Foundation (QEF), Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), Loving Hands Outreach in Hamilton and the Aberdeen Elkin Theater. 

In addition to the funding we currently provide for Member Agencies and Venture Grants recipients, our Scope of Services also includes other programs operated by our own United Way.  These Special Initiatives are:
