Real change is possible when people unite to take action. Through volunteering with United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region, you are not only giving back to the community but are gaining valuable experience. Join our network of volunteers, participate in a Day of Caring, or organize a company-wide initiative.
Each year in February, United Way facilitates a competitive Request for Proposals process in which nonprofits in Dutchess and Orange Counties apply to receive funding under Health, Education, Financial Stability and Veteran's Needs that align with goals identified by our community. As a grant reviewer you would be included among a group of almost 150 community stakeholders consisting of executives and professionals in the business, education, government, nonprofit and faith-based community in making funding decisions.
Last year, 3,361 individuals volunteered to work together to make our community stronger.
Their efforts resulted in a value of over $1,361,500 invested in the community!
Putting a dollar value on volunteer hours will never do justice to their true worth, but it is just one way for us to show the contributions individuals and organizations have made in our communities. The estimate helps acknowledge the millions of individuals who dedicate their time, talents, and energy to making a difference.
