As United Way of Washington County continues its focus on helping to address needs in Hartford, it has made almost $10,000 in additional funds available to not-for-profit programs that provide services in the Hartford community. These funds will be awarded by Hartford business leaders who are members of the Mobilizing Hartford Task Force. Priority consideration will be given to programs that respond to needs of families and youth as identified by the Mobilizing Hartford Task Force in 2012.
Part of the commitment made by United Way was to invest a portion of new dollars raised in the Hartford-area campaign directly back into that community. The almost $10,000 in additional funding being made available at this time is from a 50% return-back-to-Hartford of new dollars raised during the 2012 campaign. United Way will continue its commitment to return-back-to-Hartford a portion of new dollars raised during its 2013 campaign.
Not-for-profit organizations that respond to needs of families and youth are invited to submit an application to receive funding that can be used in 2013 and 2014. An application can be obtained online under the Mobilizing Communities tab and the Mobilized Hartford page of the United Way website, www.UnitedWayofWashingtonCounty.org, or by calling the United Way Resource Center in Hartford at 262-670-9980.
