Local United Way changing direction

Local United Way changing direction: "Starting next year, the United Way will start funding nonprofit agencies with programs that target education, financial stability and health.

People in workplace campaigns will still be able to designate donations to any nonprofit agencies they wish. But previously funded basic needs programs — including those that purchase food or pay utility bills — will no longer qualify for extra dollars from the United Way's $4 million community investment fund. Those agencies will receive six to 18 months of transition funding."
