United Way accepting proposal requests

LUDINGTON — United Way of Mason County is accepting requests for proposals (RFPs) for the 2023/2024 funding cycle (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024) from local non-profit organizations that are focusing on helping children to achieve their potential and/or working with individuals and families to be financially stable and improving health.  The RFPs can be accessed by going to www.masoncountyuw.org or by calling the United Way of Mason County office at 231-843-8593.
“Our Community Investment Committee that is made up of local volunteers will review each of the request for proposals submitted and recommend to the United Way of Mason County Board of Directors how the dollars should be awarded,” said Lynne Russell, executive director of United Way of Mason County.
When volunteers review the proposals, they are looking for the quality of services being delivered, achievement of identified outcomes, formation of partnerships with similar type organizations and fiscal responsibility, Russell said.  Last year, nine local programs were awarded funding including the Lakeshore Food Club, Habitat for Humanity of Mason County, and COVE.

The dollars raised from United Way of Mason County’s fundraising campaign are the dollars used for awarding funds.
