What if one compelling story could unlock the generosity your church needs? Black churches have long been pillars of strength, community, and resilience, especially during social and economic hardship. They have been a haven for worship, a support system for the marginalized, and a platform for social justice. However, like many nonprofits, Black churches often face the challenge of securing sufficient funds to support their programs and initiatives. A powerful tool in this effort is the Case for Support—a compelling narrative that conveys a church’s mission, vision and needs in a way that inspires donors to give generously.

❓Did you know that volunteers play a lead role in determining how dollars donated to United Way are invested in the community? ✏️ This year, nearly 80 volunteers reviewed proposals aiming to support our Bold Goal focused on Strengthening Families. How it works: Every year, local non-profits apply for grants from United Way to support their programs. With the help of volunteers on our Community Impact Review Panel, these applications are thoughtfully evaluated based on United Way’s strategy and on the impact each can have on our neighbors in poverty.
