Admission as a Full Partner Agency is the first step in United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region’s partnership and funding process. “The framework for this process helps ensures accountability for all agencies receiving United Way funds while strategically aligning resources with community impact goals,” said Ginna Holleman, CEO of United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region. Throughout the annual process, informed volunteers identify pressing community needs, evaluate each agency’s effectiveness at meeting those needs, and analyze the impact of United Way funding. Partner agency programs approved for funding have provided evidence and documentation that they meet United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region’s standards for organizational governance, effectiveness of operations, fiscal responsibility, and truthfulness of their representations.
Following an annual giving campaign, United Way begins its funding process in January of each year for eligible partner agencies.
