Home Bold Goals Verified Impact Partners For Verified Impact Partners
Thank you for your partnership as a Verified Impact Partner. The work you do helps us truly realize the power of our community. We look forward to all the progress we can make together through hard work, smart decisions, and the tenacity to do the most good possible.
We hope you are proud to identify as a Verified Impact Partner. Applying for and receiving a United Way grant means that you are one of the best at what you do. Your program stood the test of critical and smart community members, financial reviews, and strategic alignment to our mission and rose to the top – that makes you “verified”. “Impact” is our common goal – we both want to change lives for our neighbors in poverty. And “partner” is because we can only do it together – through shared connections, shared ideas and solutions, and shared resources. Thank you for what you do! And for putting in hard work with us!
