United Way of Siouxland is seeking applications for its Siouxland Recovery Fund 2020 to provide financial resources to help meet short, intermediate and long-term needs for recovery in the Siouxland area.
The fund was activated March 19, 2020 to aid in the recovery efforts for those impacted by COVID-19. All funds collected during this time will be used to help those efforts.
Funding Information
- Individual organizations may request funding from $500 to $25,000 per proposal.
- Applicants will be allowed to request proposal renewal for priority 1 & 2 proposals during the duration of the SRF grant program.
- A request for replenishment can be made when 75% of the initial grant funding has been expended, and a grant report (available on the website) has been submitted to the SRF Review Board.
The SRF does not grant directly to individuals or families, but to the non-.profit organizations that serve individuals and families in the Siouxland tri-state area. Residents should contact local agencies for immediate help.
