Chenango United Way reveals 2015 funding allocations
NORWICH – The Chenango County chapter of the United Way recently announced its 2015 allocations in which the organization disbursed more than $335,000 in funding to area nonprofits, allowing many to remain in operation for another year.
According to United Way administrators, the organization utilizes an objective scoring system to determine merit and award grants to partner organizations that apply for funding. These organizations must score a minimum of 85 percent out of 100 to be considered for funding allocations.
“This year 22 out of the 26 funding applications were funded, which enabled the United Way to reach even more community members based on the quality of the applications and success of programs offered though our partner organizations,” said Chenango United Way Executive Director Elizabeth Monaco.
The success of last year's United Way annual campaign was a key factor in the amount of funding made available to vital programs such as Chenango County food pantries and soup kitchens, and literacy volunteers.
More than 15 Chenango centric nonprofits – including Guernsey Memorial Library, Catholic Charities, the Oxford Youth Center and The Place – received substantial funding for programs designed to directly enrich the education, income and health of Chenango County community members who need it most.
Said Monaco, “Chenango's United Way donors rose to the occasion and dug deep last year to help us meet and exceed our campaign goal. But more than that, [donors] entrusted the United Way board to make decisions that would make a difference in the lives of hundreds of Chenango residents who needed a hand up –not just a hand out– and publishing the list of funding allocations is our way of reciprocating the trust.”
Along with the published list of allocations, the United Way also employs a system of checks an balances to ensure that partner organizations are towing the line and that the programs that are funded adhere to objectives and measured outcomes of the application process.
Monaco indicated that throughout the months of July and August, site visits are conducted by Colgate University Field school interns to maintain transparency and accountability of programs that received funding from the community, and to observe how they are using those funds.
A year-end report to measure the success of the funded programs will be compiled in February of 2016.
A list of past and present program funding and mid-year impact reports are available to download and view by visiting chenangouw.org/awards.
