Rice County Area United Way invites local nonprofits experiencing needs specifically resulting from COVID-19 to apply for funding. Rice County Area United Way recently received $20,000 from Minnesota Disaster Recovery Fund of the Minnesota Council on Foundations to re-grant to local nonprofits. “The funding will help nonprofits weather this storm and recover with renewed vigor,” said Penny Hillemann, executive director of Rice County Area United Way.
One hundred percent of the funds received for redistribution by Rice County Area United Way will go directly to nonprofits for general operating expenses, and every effort will be made to expedite funding, according to Hillemann.
