The United Way of Perry County is accepting applications for its annual grant cycle, starting January 13, 2023. This non-profit organization raises funds to support local health and human service entities aligned with its mission to improve the quality of life for Perry County residents. The organization manages several community-focused initiatives, such as the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which promotes children's literacy, the Christmas "Angel Store," which provides gifts and supplies to families in need, and the "Stuff the Bus" program, which supplies school materials to local students and teachers.
The United Way of Perry County operates with minimal overhead, relying heavily on the support of individual, community, and corporate donors. Most of the funds raised are distributed through the annual grant cycle to local organizations, including food banks, law enforcement, Perry County 4-H, and other community groups that serve vulnerable populations. The organization is led by Executive Director Lacy Jones and a dedicated Board of Directors from the local community, all committed to making a meaningful impact in the area.
Interested local nonprofit organizations and entities are encouraged to apply for grants, and guidelines are available for review before submitting applications. The United Way accepts grant applications from a wide range of community organizations focused on health and human services that share the organization's mission of improving life for those in Perry County.
