Community Partners are 501(c)3 agencies who receive funds through the allocations process. They must meet a Priority Need, complete a full application and budget forms and make a presentation to the Priority Teams. Minimum request is $5,000. Community Partners are then awarded an allocation approved by the Board of Directors. They must adhere to all reporting requirements and sign a Partner Agreement. Community partners are not subject to processing or fundraising fees for funds that are donor designated. Designation amounts are included in the agency’s monthly allocations check.
Affiliates are 501(c)3 agencies who apply for funding but receive designations only. They must meet a Priority Need, complete an abbreviated application and be reviewed by the Community Impact Committee. Final approval for inclusion in this class through this procedure must be approved by the Board of Directors. Affiliate Partners are not subject to outcome reporting or other reporting requirements. Affiliate Partners are only subject to the fundraising overhead percentage for funds that are donor designated. Designation amounts for affiliate partners are paid as received on a quarterly basis.
Unaffiliated Agencies are agencies that do not apply for funding but receive designations through the United Way. Unaffiliated agencies are subject to the full overhead percentage for management and general and fundraising. Designation amounts for unaffiliated agencies are paid as received on a quarterly basis.
