The United Way of Venango County, along with UPMC Health Plan, is inviting small community committees to apply for a mini-grant to hold a National Night Out event in their community or neighborhood.
National Night Out is an annual community-building program that promotes strong police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.
The goal is to make our neighborhoods safer and more caring places to live and work.
Most communities celebrate National Night Out by hosting block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and other various community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and more.
The grant applications will be open from May 1 until May 31. They can be found online at unitedwayofvenangocounty.org.
Awards will be announced to recipients on June 10.
The National Night Out Grants, unlike traditional United Way grants, are not restricted to 501(c)3 non-profits. These grants may be applied to by individuals or small neighborhood committees looking to strengthen their communities. Grant recipients must agree to and sign United Way’s funding agreement, which lays out the maximum approved amount and the way reimbursements will be handled. United Way does encourage partnerships with agencies and organizations that may be more familiar with the process and likely to help.
The United Way of Venango County has been working towards reducing the number of Venango County residents struggling to meet their health, education, and income needs by 2025. The United Way knows basic needs are the first way to reduce the struggles of everyday life. One of our most basic human needs is to connect with other people. When you build a relationship within your community, it is the start to becoming more financially stable, according to the United Way's press release.
If you are interested in helping to sponsor an event through a monetary donation, please contact the
United Way, or donate online via the National Night Out tab at unitedwayofvenangocounty.org.
If you have any questions, call the United Way at 814-676-6545 or email [email protected].
