 Our Community Partners... |
We do what works. We do what matters. It’s called Community Impact..
United Way of Fostoria invests your dollars in the programs and services of Community Partners whose programs and services touch the lives of Fostoria area residents throughout the year.
United Way of Fostoria’s Community Partners provide a wide range of services including programs for the youth, elder care, disease and substance abuse and more.
After assessing the programs and services, making site visits and regularly monitoring program outcomes, specially trained members of our Budget and Admissions Committee recommend a monetary allocation each year.
The monies come from employee workplace pledges, companies, businesses and individuals during the United Way campaign each fall. Progress is monitored throughout the year to make sure your donor dollars are wisely used.
