United Way Grant Fulfillment Fund
How can you help?
When the United Way of Staunton, Augusta County & Waynesboro made the difficult decision to terminate operations in late 2024, thirteen nonprofit organizations serving our community faced the loss of over $140,000 in grants committed to them by the United Way.
The Board of Directors of the United Way sought the assistance of the Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge to receive and distribute charitable gifts that had been pledged to the United Way. In response, the Community Foundation established the United Way Grant Fulfillment Fund.
To date, the Community Foundation has received and distributed over $50,000 to fulfill approximately 35% of the outstanding balance of the United Way’s grant commitments. The Foundation will keep its United Way Grant Fulfillment Fund open through June 2025 to receive and distribute additional contributions.
