UWSC Disaster Relief Funding Application

United Way of Sumner County is managing funds received through our 2023 UWSC Sumner County Disaster Relief Fund.  Funding will be distributed to eligible 501(c)3 non-profits and faith-based organizations providing local direct service to Sumner County victims for relief and recovery efforts due to the December 9, 2023 tornados. 

Funding will be available to these agencies serving:

• victims who have experienced household or personal storm-related damage and expenses
• victims who have experienced business storm-related damage and expenses
• victims who have lost income due to storm-related damage. 
• nonprofit agencies affected by storm-related damage or loss of supplies

Funding will also be available to agencies who need additional financial support to provide or extend their current service delivery to victims impacted by the storms.

Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until funds are depleted.  All organizations receiving grant funds will be required to complete a one page report verifying use of funds.  A template for the report will be provided along with each approval notification.

Please note that applying does not automatically qualify organizations for funding.
