Q.

Who are the agencies in Greene County that will receive funding from the 2000 Campaign?

A:

For the first time, United Way will be funding programs from Greene County agencies based upon their Outcomes. Each agency requesting funding for one or more of their programs presented a proposal to a committee of volunteers from Greene County (Greene County Outcome Team). These volunteers reviewed the proposals, made sure they met the Better Business Bureau's Standards for Charitable Giving, heard presentations from each program and then determined the funding for the Year 2000. This is the first year where all fund distribution decisions were made locally. We will fund the following programs:

• American Red Cross Emergency Housing Program
• Tecumseh Boy Scouts Scouting Program
• Greene County Domestic Violence Project
• Dating & Domestic Violence Project
• Shelter & Outreach
• Diversion Program
• Interfaith Hospitality Network Case Management
• YMCA Xmen Program
• YMCA Child Care Program
• Golden Age Senior Citizens Outreach
• Golden Age Transportation Program
• Sr. Citizens of Metropolitan Fairborn Outreach Program
• Yellow Springs Community Council's Health & Human Services Programs
• Community Children's Center Day Care
