United Way of
Southwest Minnesota continues to target important community issues for its 2013
Community Impact grants. The primary focus for its priority areas, Goals
for the Common Good, are to support the building blocks for a good quality of
life-education, income and health. Within that framework more specific
emphasis is given to issues of reducing hunger and increasing safety and
well-being for people in this area.
United Way of
Southwest Minnesota volunteers developed and refined these priority areas
through community listening sessions, surveys, research and awareness of
community conditions.
United Way of
Southwest Minnesota continues a strong emphasis on building school readiness
and early childhood education through its Success By 6 initiative, as
well as through community impact grant-making.
Funding for
all community impact grants was generated through the recently completed annual
fund-raising campaign.
