Frequently Asked Questions
What does United Way NOT fund?
United Way does not allocate funds for an organization's personnel, utilities, rent/mortgage, construction or building projects.
Should I still apply if we have not been previously funded or currently funded by United Way?
YES! We encourage all to apply so long as the project/program/service aligns with United Way's mission. However, submitting an application does not guarantee funding.
How does organizational size affect the ability to compete?
It doesn’t. Organizational size is not a factor in evaluating applicants. Funding decisions are based on alignment with United Way's priorities and the applicant’s ability to demonstrate tangible, measurable results.
Who reviews the final grant applications?
The application process is overseen by United Way of Scotland County's Budget & Allocations Committee comprised of thoroughly vetted, diverse, highly-engaged donors and board members. Throughout the rigorous review process, the Budget & Allocations Committee members assess the applications based on quality, alignment with the needs in Scotland County, and the ability to demonstrate measurable results in their respective area of focus.
