Sioux Empire United Way is dedicated to supporting non-profit entities that make significant impacts on the lives of children, vulnerable adults, and people in crisis within the Sioux Empire region. By providing funding to organizations that demonstrate a need and a measurable impact in their community services, Sioux Empire United Way empowers agencies operating in health/social service, recreation, or character-building fields. Applicants are considered through a competitive process, with funding decisions made by community volunteers. Organizations must demonstrate a funding deficit for operational purposes, and the services provided must directly affect Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha, or Turner Counties.
