Our Partners

Our partners administer projects, programs or services that contribute to the social well being of individuals, youth and families. They help people in need of assistance for the basic necessities of life. These programs and services are focused on helping improve the living conditions and standards of children, the economically disadvantaged and the frail elderly. Some programs foster positive and healthy youth development and advance education and life-long learning.

The Fort Dodge Community Foundation and United Way and our Partner Agencies are working hard to improve the quality of life in our community every day. Each year, the Fort Dodge Community Foundation and United Way  processes grant requests from local nonprofit organizations and human service agencies. Proceeds of each year's fundraising campaign are awarded to programs that are meeting important community needs.
