United Way of Central Ohio broadens and diversifies funding recipients

It took a global pandemic and a lot of listening and learning for the United Way of Central Ohio to broaden and diversify the pool of nonprofit organizations that it funds.

Of those 93 groups, 40 were first-time recipients of United Way funds and 38 of the 93 (40%) are led by people of color.  Normally, there are just “a handful” of new recipients in a given year, according to Lisa Courtice, president and CEO of the local United Way. “It sounds so obvious, but intentionality made this year different,” Courtice said. “We just didn’t do business as usual.”

The money from the COVID-19 Community Response Fund is part of an ongoing fund totaling more than $500,000 used for food distribution, youth engagement opportunities, financial assistance to students and more. So far, $418,000 has been distributed to area organizations and school systems, and more than 380 individuals, organizations and businesses have donated.
