United Way of the Tri-Valley Area is seeking applications to its Very Basics Fund. The fund is comprised of monies that have been raised or donated by individuals or businesses that specifically support basic needs such as food, fuel or shelter.
Donors do not typically designate to a specific organization, letting United Way determine the distribution of the funds.
Funds also are raised through the annual Project HEAT Telethon, hosted by News Center Maine, according to a news release from United Way.
Applicants must be nonprofit organizations such as schools, public charities, churches, municipalities and civic groups. Applicants can apply for up to $5,000.
Those with a project in mind can call 207-778-5048 to discuss or to apply, or visit uwtva.org.
Applications to the Very Basics Fund are due Saturday, April 30. Pending availability of funds, there will be a second round of funding with an Oct. 31 due date.
