SECTION III. PARTNER PROVIDERS

C. PROGRAM C1. Local Services United Way will fund only those programs providing services to residents of Racine County. In the application for funding, the partner provider must state the purpose of its program, an explanation of what distinguishes its program from similar programs being offered and demographic information on program participants.

C2. Outcomes Measurement Partner providers must measure program outcomes and provide outcome measurement information through the application and reporting processes. Additional assistance in improving the outcome measurement process may be provided by United Way.

C3. Budgets At the time of the application, the partner provider must present a program budget and annual organizational budget that has been prepared and approved by its board of directors or governing body. The program budget summary and budget narrative must be completed as part of the annual funding application. There should be clear correlation between the program budget and organizational budget. The organization must provide minutes showing board approval of budget(s) if requested.

C4. Revised Budgets Any program receiving less than the amount requested in the funding application to United Way must submit a revised budget using the Revised Budget column of the online application program budget form. Partner provider revised budgets are due August 1 with explanation of the revisions noted in the Budget Narrative section of the application. After August 1, any significant additional revisions (see Section D1. for criteria) to program budgets can be submitted by uploading the revised budget to the Partner Provider Community Investment Website and notifying United Way.

C5. Program Changes The partner provider must obtain approval from United Way for significant changes in program direction, levels of service and client groups for programs receiving United Way support. Failure to do so may result in immediate loss of funding.
