“Workshop content is identical, so potential applications need only attend one session,” said Andrea Roy, director of community impact for United Way of the River Cities. “Although the workshop is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that nonprofits interested in applying for funding attend.”
This year, United Way of the River Cities is offering Safety Net grants. Safety Net grants are awarded each year to programs that provide short-term assistance with the following basic needs: food, clothing, personal care products/infant essentials, safe shelter, utilities/rent assistance, healthcare, prescription medication, and transportation to allowable safety net services.
The Letter of Intent will open on Tuesday, January 22, and the deadline to submit will be Friday, February 15 at 5 p.m.
Registration for the workshops is required, as the seating capacity is limited. To register for the workshop or for more information, contact Andrea Roy at 304-523-8929, ext. 107 or andrea.roy@unitedwayrivercities.org.
