Its vision of a community where everyone is self-sufficient in the areas of Education, Financial Stability, Health, and can meet their own basic needs is primarily achieved through partnerships with agencies and programs.
UWCK seeks a balance of qualitative and quantitative results and works to achieve a combination of funding that will ensure community results and achieved outcomes. All applicants must address their impact in one or more of UWCK’s Focus Areas (Education, Financial Stability, Health, and Basic Needs) and achieve measurable results that demonstrate this effort to be eligible for funding.
Focus Areas
