Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of individuals and businesses in Decatur County, Decatur County United Fund was able to raise $605,514 during the 2021 Campaign, exceeding their goal of $520,000 despite such a challenging year.
On Tuesday, January 25, Decatur County United Fund announced the campaign total and thanked numerous community partners for making this hard work possible. While this event usually takes place in person, this year’s celebration was shared through their website at www.dcuf.com, Facebook page Decatur County United Fund, WTRE and the Greensburg Daily News.
“2021 was a challenging year with the pandemic still present,” shared Joane Cunningham, Executive Director. “Many agencies were unable to have fundraisers, but continued providing programs and services to our most vulnerable. Still today, food, rent and utilities and health support remain the top needs. But our community stepped up during this difficult year, raising dollars for 15 nonprofits providing local resources. These dollars will go directly towards these non-profit support services and strategies that help local families and individuals overcome barriers. Thank you for all of you who made this possible. If last year showed us anything, it’s that we truly are Building Community Together!”
United Fund leads by united the community, connecting the work of many nonprofits and delivering the funding to find solutions for the greatest problems. United Fund tracks results and reports back to the community on their investments, so every donor can see the impact their dollars make in Decatur County.
