| Funding Guidelines and Applications |
There are two options for those seeking funds from the Le Sueur Area United Way. To be considered for "Line-Item" funding, organizations must submit a full application and financial disclosure information. This process takes place approximately one year in advance of disbursement of funds to succesful applicants. To respond to more immediate, or unforseen financial needs, the Le Sueur Area United Way has a "Special Community Projects Fund." Application for these funds are normally reviewed and acted upon within 60 days and grants have a $500 maximum.
