The United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties has announced that the letter of intent application is available for local nonprofit agencies who are interested in the Community Impact Grant program.

The purpose of the Community Impact Grant program is to provide assistance to those 501(c)3 agencies who are not current partners of United Way. These agencies have priorities that are aligned with United Way’s community impact priorities (education, income, health and rebuilding lives) but do not participate in the community investment process.

United Way's Community Impact Committee, composed of various business and community leaders and volunteers, will review the letters of intent, and invite programs that most closely align with United Way’s mission to apply for a Community Impact Grant.

Letter of Intent applications are available at yourlocaluw.org/CommunityImpact/CommunityImpactGrant/LetterofIntentfor20142015 and are due by October 31, 2013. Letter of intent submission does not result in a guarantee to be invited to apply for a grant. Applying organizations must possess a 501(C)3 IRS status.

For questions, please contact United Way at (615) 893-7303.
