HOW WE INVEST
When a donation is made through a United Way workplace campaign, the funds are reinvested into local nonprofit organizations through a United Way Community Impact Grant. UWSCRCV looks to invest in organizations whose work and vision align to the goal to measurably increase individual and family well-being so that every person in Western Wisconsin leads a healthy, thriving and secure life.
This is an annual application process where local nonprofits in Burnett, Pierce, Polk & St. Croix counties who focus their work on health, education or financial stability can apply for funding in support of their program(s).
