Community Impact Projects

Requests for consideration of Community Impact Fund monies may be forwarded to the Board by the Executive Director.  On occasion, a community need, program, or emergency may present itself which does not involve an existing partner agency, and the Board may consider such a request, provided that the proposed recipient has a valid 501(c) (3) or equivalent IRS status and the proposal addresses the FCUW’s goals. The board considers submitted proposals during their regulalry scheduled business meetings. 

If you have a project in mind, please either email Deb Oyler, director, at fcuwed@gmail.com or call 620.275.1425.

Finney County Spelling Bee

The Garden City Public Schools Foundation and Finney County United Way teamed up to provide support for the entry fee for USD 457 students to compete in the Finney County Spelling Bee. The entry fee for the Spelling Bee helps defray costs for winning students to compete at the state level and provides districts and schools access to Scripps materials on the website.
