Your donation goes far…but not far away.
Community Investment volunteers from throughout our service area review local grant requests and make funding recommendations to our local Board of Directors to be certain that your donation makes the most impact! Over the last 5 years, United Way of Southwest Minnesota has re-invested more than $2.3 million locally to benefit the lives of our friends and neighbors.
The opportunity for participation in all programs and services supported by United Way of Southwest Minnesota funds and donations is offered without discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, membership or activity in a local commission, veteran status, age or any other protected status.
