United Way announces grant recipients

United Way of North Idaho announced recipients of the 2023 Community Care Fund competitive grant awards in a Thursday news release. Sixteen local nonprofits that positively impact lives in Idaho’s five northern counties were selected. Grantees demonstrate alignment with United Way’s education, health and financial stability goals; its focus on reaching the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) population; and aiding community collaboration. Counties referenced in the grantee list refer to the agency’s primary office location, though most serve clients throughout the Idaho Panhandle.

Local Views: United Way goes toe-to-toe with COVID-19

United Way is always on the front lines of community problems, both every day and crises, and COVID-19 is no exception. Since the initial outbreak in March, we’ve had our dukes up, fighting relentlessly for the most vulnerable among us. Our board swiftly launched an action fund to support those devastated by the pandemic with emergency and COVID-19 action fund grants. We organized 150 volunteers to craft more than 4,500 cloth protective masks for nonprofits and essential employees (before market availability) and partnered with the city of Janesville for drive-thru distributions. In a leadership role on the Reopen Rock Task Force, we convened the nonprofit sector, communicated need gaps, orchestrated a county-wide mask and thermometer giveaway and proudly tout the stay safe pledge.
