Staff Report-
On Jan. 24 the United Way of Kosciusko County will make available the Request For Funding forms on its website at www.unitedwaykosciusko.org This funding cycle is for July 1 through June 30, 2015. Organizations with programs that wish to be considered must meet the funding process guidelines. This includes the completion of the Request for Funding packet. The packet includes a logic model, which must reflect the programs’ key outcomes and a measurement framework for proving results. All daycare facilities seeking funding must be state licensed, seeking accreditation and a Level 3 or 4 on Indiana’s rating system, Paths to Quality. The deadline for submitting requests is noon Feb. 28. Outcomes must meet one of the United Way of Kosciusko County’s focus areas: 1. Education: School readiness – which will ensure that children entering kindergarten have achieved the appropriate developmental milestones; and early academic achievement, which will ensure that students’ reading comprehension skills are at the appropriate level by third grade. 2. Income: Increasing the number of working families and individuals that are economically self-sufficient achieved by strategies involving employability, family management and family stabilization. 3. Health: Improving the health of residents through fitness, nutrition, destructive behavior reduction, health accessibility and children’s oral health.
