United Way of Martin County

This diverse group of volunteers will examine agencies’ requests for United Way funding. Panelists review applications, visit agencies and then make funding recommendations for agency programs, which provide basic human needs and prevention services.

This is the best way to learn how United Way contributions are being invested in support of local community programs.
