Program Delivery Partners

Albion-Homer United Way invests in the community by providing Grants to local health/human services agencies. These agencies are our Program Delivery Partners and provide direct programs and services to local residents in five targeted impact areas: 1) Health/Wellness, 2) Workforce Development, 3) Family Subsistence, 4) Education, and 5) Emergency Needs. Funds for these Grants are made available from undesignated/unrestricted campaign dollars received from Albion-Homer United Way’s Annual Campaign and occasionally from other granting institutions.  

Program Delivery Partners are Grant recipients, selected by a panel of community volunteers comprised of Albion and Homer residents representing diverse ages, backgrounds, and occupations. The panel carefully reviews applications, listens to agency presentations, identifies programs best aligned with Albion-Homer United Way’s mission and targeted impact areas, and then makes recommendations to the United Way Board of Directors. Contact us for Allocation Grant applications and deadlines.
