UNITED WAY OF SOUTHWEST COLORADO MAKES GRANTS TO LOCAL HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS FROM FUNDS RAISED IN THE ANNUAL FUNDRAISING DRIVE AND FROM FUNDS PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF DURANGO. IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A GRANT, A LOCAL HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATION MUST PROVE THAT IT IS A GOOD ORGANIZATION, HAS A GOOD BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT ARE OVERSEEING THE OPERATIONS, HAS COMPETENT STAFF, HAS SOLID FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, HAS FINANCIAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO PREVENT ANY MISUSE OF FUNDS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HAS A PROGRAM THAT CAN PROVE IT IS ADDRESSING ONE OF UNITED WAY'S GOALS UNDER EDUCATION, SELF-RELIANCE OR HEALTH. UNITED WAY USES LOCAL VOLUNTEERS TO CONDUCT THIS REVIEW PROCESS. ADDITIONALLY, UNITED WAY STAFF SERVE ON NUMEROUS BOARDS OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES WHICH BRING OTHER RESOURCES TO OUR COMMUNITY.
