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.

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