United Way KFL&A is committed to building strong and healthy communities for all. We help community partners strengthen their services in order to assist those in needs and work with various agencies to help meet the needs of people within our community. Project applications for funding are submitted by youth in the KFL&A community. These applications are reviewed by the Youth Leadership Committee, which then submits its recommendations to the United Way.

Project Funding Guidelines
