United Way to Offer Virtual Agency Training Local Agencies in West Tennessee

Jackson, Tenn. (Dec. 16, 2024) — United Way of West Tennessee will offer two virtual agency training sessions for local agencies in West Tennessee on Tuesday, January 7th from 1-3pm and Thursday, January 9th from 9-11am. This session is open to any area nonprofit interested in receiving grant funding from United Way as a partner agency.

All agencies who request funding must attend one of the two sessions offered in January. Only participating agencies will be eligible to apply for funding during the 2025-26 grant cycle. Applications can be completed by local 501(c)(3) health and human service organizations that serve individuals from United Way’s 15-county service area.

“This agency training session is a chance for area nonprofits to learn how they can partner with United Way to better serve our community,” said Matt Marshall, President/CEO of United Way of West Tennessee. “We will discuss the application process and other relevant information.”

Last year, United Way partnered with 39 agencies to invest over $720,700 in 39 different programs, all focused in the areas of equity, education, health, and financial stability. 

“We look forward to partnering with organizations in our community to help ensure every person in West Tennessee thrives,” stated Marshall.
