Funded Agencies

United Way of Thurston County will provide $450,000 in grants for each of two years (2010-12) to support 44 health and human service programs at 29 local nonprofit organizations. Each funded program is aligned with one of United Way's three focus areas: Education, Income and Health. The grants for the 2010-11 funding year were made possible from individual and corporate donations made during United Way's 2009-10 campaign.
