A Message to Our Community:

United Way of Central Ohio has a vision of building a community in which everyone has the aspirations, resources and opportunities to reach their potential. We work in partnership with individuals, organizations and systems to mobilize the resources and implement the actions that will achieve that vision around the following community results in four impact areas:

EDUCATION

  • Young children enter kindergarten physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively prepared to succeed.
  • Youth graduate from high school well-prepared for additional learning and productive careers.

INCOME

  • People achieve financial stability.
  • People in crisis have access to emergency food, shelter and financial assistance.

HEALTH

  • People overcome barriers to accessing health and wellness services.
  • People maintain healthy nutrition and physical fitness.
  • The community is prepared to respond to disasters and emergencies.

HOME

  • People live in safe and decent housing.
  • People live in safe neighborhoods.

Investing in high quality programs linked to our community results and related long-term bold goals is one way that UWCO achieves community impact.

In 2012, we will accept proposals from non-profit organizations in central Ohio to partner with UWCO to measurably improve people's lives and strengthen the community around the two community results in our education impact area: kindergarten readiness and high school graduation. In 2013, we will accept proposals for program investment in the Income, Health and Home impact areas.

The UWCO website includes detailed information about UWCO's program investment process and next steps for organizations interested in submitting proposals around kindergarten readiness and/or high school graduation. Please review the materials and contact UWCO if you have questions.

We are excited about the opportunities to work together to create measurable, sustainable community impact.

Sincerely,
