United Way of Central Carolinas has tapped its reserves to keep grants flowing to local nonprofits over the next year. But officials worry that a continued decline in donations could make it hard to meet the Charlotte region s growing needs in the years ahead.
The United Way board approved $10.7 million in grants to 127 organizations for 2021 - level with last year. But doing that required spending up to $3 million from its reserves - something the organization had previously said it would not do again.
