Making a gift to United Way of Mesa County is the most effective way to help our community as a whole. Our unique ability to work across complex issues with hundreds of community partners is unmatched. Our programs help people in crisis get back on their feet, help prevent future problems and build a stronger community for all of us. No other single organization meets the broad range of needs addressed by United Way.
3) What does my donation do?
$1 per paycheck can provide an emergency 3-day meal supply for five people in Mesa County who have limited or no means of obtaining food.
$5 per paycheck can provide four children a new book each month for a year helping ensure they enter kindergarten ready to learn.
$10 per paycheck can prevent one young, low-income family in Mesa County from losing their home due to eviction and assist them in becoming financially self-reliant.
$20 per paycheck can provide 12 counseling sessions to a child victim of sexual assault in Mesa County, reducing trauma, promoting dignity, justice and healing.
In 2017, nearly 50,000 people (one in three) accessed services at an organization funded by United Way of Mesa County. Your gift does more than just support people who are in urgent need right now. You also support meaningful, lasting change that impacts the entire community.
4) How much of my donation goes to services versus administrative costs?
We ask you to pay attention to other factors of nonprofit performance: transparency, governance, leadership, and results. United Way of Mesa County is proud of our open and competitive application process for funding in our three initiatives, providing funding for more than 40 programs across our county. This way you know your dollars are being leveraged with others in our community to make real and lasting positive change.
5) How is United Way of Mesa County held accountable?
The most valuable asset we have is the trust and confidence people have in our ability to meet community needs. We are audited each year by an independent accounting firm to ensure we are in compliance with generally accepted accounting procedures, regulations, and laws. We strive to be transparent. We are long standing members of the Better Business Bureau.
6) Who decides how you invest in the community?
We call them our allocations team. They are dedicated volunteers and experts from our community that carefully screen and select the programs funded by your contribution. As a member of one of the nine panels, each person is trained to read and understand a grant application, evaluate a program’s effectiveness, efficiency, and ability to deliver results, make site visits as a group to see the program in action and talk with staff and clients of each program. Allocation panel members make recommendations that are reviewed and approved by our volunteer board of directors.
7) I want to give through payroll deduction. When does payroll deduction start?
Most United Way of Mesa County campaigns run on a 12-month calendar cycle, but this can vary by company. Check with your Workplace Campaign Coordinator for the specific dates.
8) How much of a donation will make a difference?
United Way of Mesa County and our community appreciate each person making a gift based on his or her income and financial situation. Many donors give a percentage of their income or choose to give the equivalent of one to two hours per paycheck. Your financial contribution is a personal decision and even a small amount can make a big difference in another individual or family’s life. Combined with thousands of other people here in Mesa County, your donation has the potential to make an enormous impact.
9) I want my business to be involved with United Way.
That’s great news! We are always looking for more community partners that can help us answer our community’s needs. Please check out the various ways your business, company or organization can help here.
10) What if United Way supports an organization or a cause that I don’t like?
It’s important that you feel comfortable with your decision to donate. Although you may not care for one agency, United Way supports programs within many other agencies that serve people in our community. Without the support of the community through United Way, many of these important programs and services would not exist. To review which agencies United Way of Mesa County is currently funding, click here.
11) What if I make a mistake and want to change my gift once I submitted my donation?
No problem. If you give by automatic payroll deduction, start by getting in touch with the person that handles your paychecks and they should be able to assist you with the change. If you’re not giving through a workplace campaign, contact our office at 970-243-5364 and we can make the change.
12) What’s the difference between designated and undesignated gifts?
We support any form of donation because we want to encourage a community of philanthropists. A designated gift restricts your gift to a specific 501(c)3 organization. An undesignated gift takes advantage of United Way’s thorough, research-based program selection that gets the money to the issues and areas that need it most. This allows you to help the most people and do the most good for our entire community. Because a designated dollar can only be spent on that particular agency, it decreases the total available for United Way to strategically invest, thus decreasing the total allocations to all agencies.
13) I want to request funding for my agency or project.
We have a meticulous process that doesn’t happen overnight. Please click here to check out the requirements.
14) I need financial assistance. Can United Way of Mesa County help me?
United Way is not set up to provide direct financial assistance to individuals, but we work with many community partners that do. We recommend dialing 2-1-1 (or 970-244-8400) which is a free, confidential, call center available 24/7. The 2-1-1 referral specialists help connect people to a variety of health and human service resources, including child care, food, shelter, and counseling. They also help find volunteer opportunities and match in-kind gifts, such as furniture or used cars with many of the community’s nonprofit organizations.

When an adult brand wants to get a specific message, and their name, in front of an audience, they can buy what’s known as “sponsored” content. This means they pay to have their name and a link to their website included in a blog post on the site.
In many cases, I’ve written most of the content, especially the more recent posts. But in the early days of accepting sponsored posts, sometimes the brand wrote the piece. I was paid to publish all of this content, and anytime that happens, I will disclose that fact to you. You can choose to check out the website or not.
As you can see, sponsored content is a small fraction of the content I post, and the payments I receive help me maintain this website (and my coffee addiction).
MK Dons travel to Colchester United this evening as they look to get back to winning ways.
The Dons haven`t won in three and will be desperate to pick up three points following Saturday`s 4-2 loss at Gillingham.
The big worry for the Dons is David Martin. The keeper remains a doubt after missing the Gillingham game with a thigh strain, a game where his replacement Ian McLoughlin put in a terrible performance. Should Martin be unavailable yet again, it wouldn`t be much of a surprise if Robinson chose to put 3rd choice Charlie Burns between the sticks.
Meanwhile, Dean Bowditch (hamstring) is also unlikely to feature but Ben Reeves should be fit after returning from a long-term injury to make a substitute appearance on Saturday. Having last season`s player of the year available will be a real boost for the team.
Kyle McFadzean is also back following a two-game suspension and will resume his usual position at centre-back, steadying a defence that has been shaky in his absence.
Lastly, new loan signing from Fulham George Williams is available to play and will be pushing for a start.
Colchester will be hoping midfielder George Moncur has recovered from tonsillitis in time to play.
And while a win for the Dons would put them into the top two (with Swindon not playing), a Colchester victory would lift the U`s out of the relegation zone.
The Dons could be forgiven for being overly-confident considering they beat Colchester 6-0 at stadium:mk back in November. But after their 1-0 win at promotion-chasing Oldham last time out, their opponents will be full of confidence.
“We`re playing big teams, but that`s what the players are here for.
But given their form of late, the Dons would take any sort of performance that would bring three points back to Milton Keynes.
Pairing poems with paintings is an intriguing (if imperfect) science that can involve unlikely collaborations, which hopefully produce transcendent art. Thankfully, such is the case with Hell, Probably, the new joint effort by poet Ronna Lebo and painter Philippe Avignant — brought together by the curation of their publisher, Dallas Athent. The result is a bracing poetic collection of Lebo’s vividly rendered recollections and surreal warnings for an era of feminine resistance and political awareness, which flow past Avignant’s wide-eyed caricatured denizens of a whirling dimension of necessary madness.
At his reading people were dead, a course so unlikely — forever when you think about it, nothing complete actually — the rest of the past already gone with those few lines, for obvious reasons, like we guessed it, kind of, but not because it works.
Lebo’s voice for Avignant’s faces erupts with the poetic urgency of that unnatural second mouth in the book’s opening painting, and is well worth focusing both of your eyes on.
