The United Way of Northern Arizona launched a special fund last week to benefit organizations providing direct services to people impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Although there currently is a limited amount of confirmed cases in our state, the consequences of the coronavirus are already being felt in our communities,” said UWNA President & CEO Carol Dykes. United Way is not requiring organizations to submit formal applications for funds to alleviate that burden when organizations are already busy on the frontlines of this pandemic, Dykes said. Instead, United Way’s Community Investment Volunteers will proactively identify potential grant recipients, solicit guidance from community advisors and recommend final awards.
