Response Grants
Response Grants provide planning or start-up funds for new programs intended to meet the emerging or unmet health and human service needs of people in our service area. In 2007, Upper Valley United Way (UVUW) provided $30,000 in Response Grants to local nonprofits.
As is the case with our Partner Program Grants, community members volunteer to serve on a review committee. Applications are reviewed to assess the appropriateness of the grant request. Volunteers are trained and then teams meet with program staff and a Board member of the sponsoring organization. If a program site has been established, teams will make a site visit.
Response Grants* Provided in 2007
*Formerly called Emerging Needs Grants
Response Grants for 2007-2008 are currently being reviewed. Awards will be announced in January 2008.
