You may be able to obtain funding for your ministry through United Way.
United Way's Mission: United Way improves lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good.
Many United Way local agencies funnel support to organizations within their geographic area that fulfull their vision and mission. As such YoungLives groups can sometimes obtain general funding through United Way. Or donors who wish to give to YoungLives may be able to give to United Way and have those funds directed to YoungLives. One advantage of this is often times employers will match such gifts. All funding decisions are made by the local United Way agency, so you will need to speak with your local agency to find out what the options are.
The Young Life Grants and Foundations office is willing to help your area research funding through United Way.
Our area receives grant funding from our local United Way and they are some of the most supportive and caring people we know. Several board members have signed up to become monthly donors personally after hearing about what we do. It is a great network to be involved in!
