Allocations

Members of the Allocation Committee act as representatives of Warren County United Way and Community Investors.  Within their Focus Groups, the committee members become fully familiar with the agencies and their programs.  The commitment and dedication of the 2008 Allocation Committee allowed the Warren County United Way to efficiently allocate community funds to 61 programs in four areas of impact by reviewing, visiting, and ascertaining the financial needs of each Partner Agency.

In addition to the allocations made to Partner Agencies, the Allocation Committee awarded Grant Status to New Housing Opportunities, Inc. for their homeless program, Bernie's Place.  The agency will be eligible for Partner Agency Status next year.
