United Way Board of Directors Approves Community Support Budget
United Way of Madison County’s Board of Directors approved funding of $588,856 to 25 agency programs over the next year as part of the 2010-2011 community support budget. In addition, community impact strategies Born Learning Connection, Community Access Network (CAN), Covering Kids and Families of Madison County, Volunteer Action Center, RSVP, and the Indiana Disaster Fund will receive $235,000 from additional resource development opportunities. Program funding is awarded annually April 1 through March 31 based on requests from certified agencies.
Local organizations will also receive $132,329 in donor directed funds from the fall 2009 campaign. Board members have also set aside $14,000 for board discretionary funding opportunities.
“This is the single largest contribution to the community- putting close to $1 million back into the community,” said Nancy Vaughan, president. She stated, “Our long-term developmental focus and diversification of our fund raising efforts are fundamental to our capacity to meet human services challenges today and into the future.”
“Our vision councils have been vigilant and dedicated to assuring that funding is consistent with identified community needs. During this time of economic hardship, it is important that basic human needs are addressed while there is continued support for other community services that help families be self sufficient and children be ready to learn as they enter school.” said Jan Kaye, a board member of United Way of Madison County and chair of the organization’s community impact committee.
