Become a Certified Partner

United Way of the Midlands (UWM) welcomes partnerships with health and human service agencies that address human needs in the community and meet certain organizational standards. 
 
Certified partnership does not guarantee UWM funding, but certified partner agencies are eligible to submit proposals for competitive grants solicited by UWM. There are other benefits in being a certified partner including:
  • Agency listing on UWM community campaign materials.
  • Agency listing in our brochures and Annual Report.
  • Agency access to the Combined Federal Campaign as part of UWM federation.
  • Agency participation in public policy issues, impact strategies, and the CEO Association.
