United Way of Orleans County is accepting applications for funding for 2024. Applications are due Dec. 29.

Executive director Nyla Gaylord points out the new applications are simplified and do not ask about program performance, but rather what the applicant proposes to do in 2024.

“At the end of January, we will be sending a report form requesting information on your program performance in 2023,” Gaylord said. “Your performance report will be included with your request for funding and be reviewed by the Allocations Committee.”

United Way of Orleans County currently provides funding to 16 non-profit agencies in the county, which touch the lives of every segment of the population – from infants to seniors and the disabled.

Donors are also reminded that every dollar given in Orleans County stays in Orleans County, unless otherwise designated by the donor.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to United Way may do so online (click here), by mailing a check to United Way of Orleans County, 12690 State Route 31, Albion, 14411, or dropping it off at the office at Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Education Center at the 4-H Fairgrounds.
