United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra Announces Funding for the Upcoming Fiscal Year

United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra (UWNNS) has announced its funded partners, embracing a strategic and community-based approach to funding organizations and partnerships. In this process, UWNNS researched critical needs within its three areas of focus: education, financial stability and health. The organization then established regional needs with area volunteer experts to review research and determine focused priorities to guide decisions. These same volunteers reviewed each of the partner agencies to ensure adherence to UWNNS’ Standards of Excellence.
