(Scott County, Ind.) – United Way of Scott County announced that it has been approved to receive a $150,000 COVID-19 Economic Relief Imitative Grant.

This grant was made possible through a partnership between Lilly Endowment, Inc. and Indiana United Ways, the state professional association of which United Way of Scott County is a member. These funds will be used to boots the efforts on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For decades, the United Way of Scott Count has been a key convener and coordinator response to meet human needs in the community. Without a robust local safety net, those in need are bound to become even more dire.

“Thanks to generous support from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., we are now more strongly positioned to help our community deal with the immediate and long-term impact of Covid-19,” said Michelle Matern, Board Chair for United Way of Scott County, IN.

The COVID-19 Economic Relief Initiative Grant calls for United Ways that receive funding to leverage partnerships and relationships to better meet COVID related essential and basic needs and to address other COVID critical issues as they emerge.

Interested organizations can contact Nancy Riley, Executive Directory at nancy.unitedway.scottco@gmail.com, or by calling (812) 752-2586 for guidance on funding intent and application instructions.

The deadline to apply will be July 3, 2020.
