This program honors the legacy of Bill and Cathy Fraser, long-time supporters of the United Way, with Bill serving on the Board and Allocations Committee, and Cathy as a vital staff member. The program aligns with the United Way's mission by supporting local community initiatives and strengthening programs that benefit the residents of Cattaraugus County, reflecting a commitment to community welfare and sustained local impact. The primary beneficiaries of these grants are programs operating within Cattaraugus County. The eligibility criteria specify that organizations can be 501(c)(3) non-profits, schools, faith-based organizations, or emergency services. The grants are intended to support these diverse groups in their efforts to serve the community, with the overarching impact goal of fostering positive change and addressing local needs. While specific impact goals are not detailed, the nature of the United Way's work typically implies a focus on improving health, education, and financial stability within communities. The program prioritizes initiatives that can demonstrate a clear benefit to Cattaraugus County, as grants are explicitly available for programs within this geographic area. The grants are awarded in amounts of $1,000 or less, indicating a focus on supporting smaller-scale projects or providing supplementary funding to existing programs. Awards are distributed throughout the year during the winter, summer, and fall, suggesting a consistent and accessible funding cycle for qualifying organizations. Expected outcomes include the successful implementation of community programs by eligible organizations within Cattaraugus County. While measurable results are not explicitly outlined in the provided text, the small grant size and consistent award cycles suggest an emphasis on supporting ongoing efforts and responsive funding for immediate needs. The United Way’s strategic priorities generally revolve around creating lasting community change, and this grant program, by supporting various local organizations, contributes to that broader theory of change by empowering local efforts to address diverse community challenges.
