Should I give to this Fund instead of making other donations?

ACAF • April 15, 2020

The Community Support Fund is not intended to be the primary vehicle for local support but rather to enhance effectiveness for donors (in terms of UWAC and ACAF understanding local needs) and coordination for UWAC and ACAF as grant providers.

This is a challenging time for many county residents and for the nonprofit organizations that have benefited from your giving in the past. Many have had to cancel annual fundraising events, so we encourage you to please continue to give to organizations you regularly support. If you are in a position to do so, now is the time increase your community giving.
