The majority of the non-designated funds raised by Renfrew County United Way are distributed to its Member Agencies as base or program funding (see application forms below) to provide important health and social services to people in need. Each of these member agencies has qualified for member status through an intensive annual review process undertaken by the United Way’s Funds Distribution Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. 

 

Base or program funding application forms:

Renewed funding is contingent on Member Agencies continuing to meet a set of stringent criteria, including providing regular performance reports and demonstrating that the funds applied for each year will meet the needs of our communities as identified through the United Way’s community consultation process.
