LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY FUND CHALLENGE GRANT:

The United Way headed by chairwoman Robin Beckerman is seeking ideas for a United Way challenge grant. Through this one-time grant process, the United Way will match dollar for dollar, up to $30,000 in funds raised for a community program within the township of Livingston.

Ideas, such as a skate park, date back to 2003 when a group of teens presented the idea to the Township council. The skate park, however, is just one idea for the Challenge grant. The Livingston Division is seeking suggestions from residents on how they would like to see the grant money used. Please contact us with your thoughts and suggestions. E-mail: uwne@uwne.org or call us at: 973-746-4040.

LIVINGSTON COMMUNITY FUND:

Providing one central campaign that supports a wide range of programs, all contributing to the health and well-being of our community is the goal of the United Way’s Livingston Community Fund.  Our annual campaign offers an efficient and convenient way for residents to contribute to many different services with one donation.

All contributions to the Community Fund are used to assist our Livingston neighbors who need our help:  children with disabilities, families dealing with substance abuse and domestic violence, the frail elderly struggling to remain in their homes.

The Livingston Community Fund is efficient and well managed.  Community volunteers oversee the use of the funds by carefully reviewing requests for financial support from the various non-profit agencies serving our community.

Your United Way investment, because it is magnified by the investment of others, has the power to bring about changes that matter most in Livingston. When you contribute, you help more than one person or one charity.  United Way is the collective power of people working toward long-term solutions, not short-term fixes.
