United Way of Douglas County Community Partner Certification Form

for 2012 funding

United Way is working on efforts to identify and work toward community goals.  United Way also has a responsibility to assure the community that their resources are directed towards organizations that meet high standards.

To that end, we are providing all organizations who would like to be considered eligible for funding the opportunity to agree to our standards.  While the standards are not new, this process is new for United Way of Douglas County.  This certification is in no way a guarantee of funding, but it does provide the vehicle for an organization to be eligible for funding.

Your organization is invited to complete the downloadable certification form if it is appropriate.  As you know, this planning work is time consuming and collaborative efforts are challenging, but we hope that anyone who is motivated to help will take these steps towards certification.  If you are not interested in being eligible for funding, you need not complete this form.

The deadline for completing this is June 15, 2011.  While the form is not challenging to complete, it is important for any organization’s staff and volunteer leadership to carefully determine whether or not to seek United Way Certification.
