We all know that when children get the early child care they need, they succeed in school; and when young adults graduate, they have the tools they need to find a job. When families have the means to afford safe and stable housing, they thrive. And if people are free from violence and abuse at home, then they are healthy and safe.

That’s why we’re focused on education, income and health - the building blocks of a good life and a strong community.

Rappahannock United Way Funded Programs

Deciding which agencies and programs to fund, as well as how much to allocate are among the most critical decisions the United Way Board of Directors makes. Through a process known as Citizen Review, volunteers spend more than 700 hours each spring to assess partner agency effectiveness and develop funding recommendations. The Grants and Technical Assistance Committee provided the volunteer leadership for the Citizen Review process. In 2009, grants and distributions from the Community Care Fund were made to 59 programs with 34 partner agencies.
