United Way Services Corporation

Western new york nonprofit support group (wnynsg) is a group of funders and consultants that seek to support and strengthen the nonprofit sector in a 9-county region that includes: the eight counties of western new york and monroe county. Conversations with nonprofits, government and capacity builders/intermediaries were initiated in each county to understand what support the sector, as a whole, needed during its recovery from the covid crisis. The goal was to identify targeted, impactful ways the wnynsg could support the sector's recovery, in coordination with other efforts taking place. United Way Services Corporation acts as a fiscal agency/fiduciary to help support the fundraising and ensure funding is appropriately managed and distributed to the partner organizations in areas of technology, racial equity and communications.
