Roots and Shoots: A new way for United Way + local agency partnership
We are announcing two tracks for a funding period from September 2021 to June 2023. This new process will create the bandwidth to advance an even more significant community impact with our funded partners.
ROOTS
'Roots' applications provide stable program funding for programs with an established record of performance that do not foresee the need to innovate collaboratively with United Way MV over the next funding cycle period.
SHOOTS
'Shoots' applicants are a small group of grantee partners who are committed to working with United Way MV to identify a shared bold goal. Those applicant agencies are interested in innovating collaboratively with United Way MV around a specific goal. Greater community outcomes are achieved by reducing not-for-profit silos, embracing shared goals, and increasing meaningful dialogue between funder and programs.
In addition to funding, one or more of United Way MV’s assets would also be leveraged (ie. our role as a community convener, our comfort with employing technology solutions, leveraging a United Way MV initiative such as 211 or the Volunteers United platform.)
