United Way Awards $910,000 To Area Non-Profit Programs

July 16, 2013

United Way of Escambia County has announced that $910,000 will be awarded to area non-profit programs thanks to more than 10,000 donors who gave the united way during the 2012-2013 annual workplace campaign season.

There were 44 programs at 33 agencies who were awarded funding to serve the community by creating change in focus areas of education, health and financial stability.

In addition to the dollars raised for the grants awarded, United Way raised another $618,949 in donor designated pledges to tax exempt organizations. Designations for this year’s campaign were nearly double that of the last year’s campaign, resulting in a three percent increase in total dollars raised ($2,412,047).

In 2013-14, the $910,000 in allocated funding will enable agencies to draw down matches totaling $1.72 million from private, state and federal sources. In effect, this means donor contributions of $910,000 grew to $2.63 million through matching funds. Campaign dollars raised and leveraged, combined with other United Way initiatives, resulted in an $8.9 million community impact.
