United Way Emerald Coast

United Way Emerald Coast improves lives in okaloosa and walton counties by building a healthy, strong community. The organization builds partnerships, mobilizes the caring power of the community, and directs resources to areas that will have positive impact. The organization leads fundraising efforts through an annual campaign. Undesignated donor contributions raised through the campaign are strategically invested in quality programs at local agencies through an annual community investment process. Local certified community partner agencies meeting a set of eligibility criteria and documentation requirements are eligible to apply for grant funding through the community investment process. These agencies offer programs, services, and initiatives to drive positive community change in the areas of health, education, and financial stability. Trained volunteers review grant applications and recommend funding levels to uwec's board of directors. In the reporting year, the board of directors approved funding to 16 programs. The amounts allocated to these programs ranged from $4,000 to $65,000. Services provided by these agencies included hunger relief programs, primary medical care, high-quality childcare, and emergency shelter.
