We will cover the application process; our two-year funding cycle; the grant application; and how funding allocation decisions are reached.
Every two years United Way of Laramie County begins a new funding cycle. The funding allocations support human service programs facilitated by local non-profit agencies. These agencies must go through the grant application process every two years. Information provided during the process proves their program will benefit human service needs in Laramie County.

United Way of Laramie County Announces 2009 Co-Campaign Chairs
United Way of Laramie County’s Board of Directors is proud to announce that Greg Dyekman and Susan Samuelson will be the volunteer co-chairs of the 2009 United Way Campaign.
“United Way is truly a driving force for good in Laramie County. Its focus on the demonstrated needs of our community, its emphasis on programs that produce results and its efforts to assure responsible allocation and management of private and public funds makes it different than any other human services program.” Greg states, “I'm proud to be a part of it.”
“Growing up…my family was involved (when the United Way was called Community Chest). It was an expectation that if you lived in a community, you participated any way you were able,” said Susan, “be it in volunteerism, monetary support, or both if you were so blessed.”
Greg appreciates the volunteer spirit of Cheyenne and the tremendous generosity of its citizens and businesses. He believes in the good that people and organizations can accomplish when they mount a common effort for the benefit of others.
Susan believes Cheyenne and Laramie County are great areas to live because of the community’s involvement both in volunteerism and financial support in the agencies that are served by United Way of Laramie County. Greg and Susan both look forward to leading the 2009 United Way Campaign.
