The United Way Disaster Relief Fund

The United Way has activated it’s Disaster Relief Fund at the Community Foundation to respond directly and immediately to those nonprofits on the front lines of this emergency.

Grant Eligibility & Process

Grants are limited to 501c3 nonprofit organizations, groups fiscally sponsored by a 501c3 nonprofit organization, or other charitable organizations able to receive a tax-deductible contribution, such as schools and other public entities. We are not able to fund individuals or businesses directly, labor unions, or other 501c4, 501c5, and 501c6 organizations. Aid to individuals will be handled through nonprofit organizations in our area with established processes for determining need.

In order to move resources quickly and not further burden these nonprofit organizations there will not be a formal application process. Nonprofits or other community organizations engaging in immediate basic needs relief and need financial support now can email Jennifer Thatcher, Executive Director of the United Way of Dunn County, at jthatcher@uwaydunn.org.   

Approved grantees will be published on web sites for the Community Foundation and United Way. Nonprofits can stay up to date about grantmaking from this fund by visiting the United Way’s website or by reading our press release about this fund.
