]]> Comment on McCormick Foundation and United Way Launch Fund to Support Local Nonprofits in a Volatile Economy by Sarah Frick http://pressroom.uw-mc.org/mccormick-foundation-united-way-fund-nonprofits/comment-page-1/#comment-40 Sarah Frick Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:08:08 +0000 http://pressroom.uw-mc.org/?p=5645#comment-40 UWMC’s partnership with the McCormick Foundation was a way for UWMC to keep as much funding online as possible in a down fundraising environment. It was a closed process for a select group of currently funded agencies in order for us to better manage. We are exploring future opportunities with McCormick Foundation. However, at this time, there is no structure in place for the next cycle.

]]> Comment on 500 Health and Wellness Programs Apply for United Way Funding by Pauline Richter http://pressroom.uw-mc.org/500-health-and-wellness-programs-apply-for-united-way-funding/comment-page-1/#comment-20 Pauline Richter Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:18:53 +0000 http://www.uw-mc.org/?p=4247#comment-20 I agree with Thresholds manager Brent Peterson about the ease and simplicity of the new United Way application process. And if one had just submitted their Due Diligence Report from the last round of funding it was almost automatic to navigate their system the second time around. I was able to focus completely on the content of my submission rather than the technicalities of the computer program. I salute the United Way staff who made this happen. I also used the United Way technical assistance that was offered and their conference call addressed all of my questions and concerns.

I am doing an internship at a school that has 100% poverty, low resources, high behavior issues and declining test scores. What can you do to help. The school needs volunteers, tutors, resources, and program activities for grades 5-8. Thank you. Do you work with students in the West Woodlawn community?
