The United Way announced today it is inviting 42 nonprofits to submit applications for funding for a new three-year funding cycle that begins in 2011. The invites are going to nonprofits that passed a fiscal and management review conducted by United Way volunteers who are experts in finance, accounting, law and business.
Dunbar, which serves Syracuse’s black community, and Liberty, which serves people with developmental disabilities and the mentally ill, were the only two of the 39 agencies getting United Way funding now not invited to reapply for money.
Friends of the CanTeen, a youth program in Cicero which was seeking to become a new United Way-funded agency, also did not pass the review.
Frank Lazarski, president of the United Way, said he would not discuss why those agencies failed to make the cut until he meets with officials of those organizations next week to give them an explanation. Officials of those agencies could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.
The final decision on which agencies are getting invitations was made by the United Way board today. Six of the agencies that passed the review are new to the United Way.
