CAMPAIGN E-NEWSLETTER: DECEMBER 20, 2007

Happy Holidays

From all of us here at United Way of Central New York, we’d like to wish you and yours a safe, happy and festive holiday season. We are grateful to be able to partner with you to build a better community.

Thank you for everything that you do on our behalf, and best wishes for the New Year.


Friday, December 14, was the deadline for requests for our 2008-2011 Community Program Fund. Forty-five agencies submitted 132 applications for a total of $9,528,283 in requests. It was an exciting day for United Way as the boxes of applications came in and we were joined by the executive directors of the agencies to make an end-of-campaign appeal to the community for support.

Over the coming months, teams of trained volunteers will spend hundreds of hours reviewing these applications. They’ll select a slate of the very best programs to recommend for funding to United Way’s Board of Directors. In the spring, the Board will make final decisions and the next three-year funding cycle will begin in July.

The success of the current Community Campaign will determine how much money is available to allocate to programs for the next three years, so it’s extremely important that we reach our $9.7 million goal. Thanks so much for helping to make the campaign a success.

   

We are still looking for volunteers to review program applications for funding in the 2008-2011 Community Program Fund. This is very rewarding and interesting work, and it’s a great opportunity to learn more about your community. Trainings start in January.

For more information or to sign up, please call or email Rosy George in United Way’s Community Impact Department at 428-2236.

To date, United Way of Central New York’s Community Campaign has raised $7,196,124. A big thanks to everyone who has made this achievement possible!

In January we will celebrate all that we’ve accomplished together this year. Please mark your calendar now for the 2007 Achievement Celebration on Thursday, January 24, from 5 to 7 at the Oncenter.  Join us as we recognize exceptional organizations and campaign volunteers. This will also be the grand finale for the 2007 Step Up Challenge.  Prizewinner names will be drawn for each of our six grand prizes. 

And  thanks to the generous sponsorship of KS&R, this year’s event will be free of charge. Bring a friend or your whole campaign team for complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Please watch your mailbox for your invitation in early January.
