Wadewitz Fund

The Wadewitz Fund is designated to provide grants or interest-free loans to assists with requests to repair, replace or improve conditions that meet the criteria of an emergency or capital need, and where no other reasonable source of funds is immediately available.

This is a competitive fund and requests that meet requirements are not guaranteed funding. Funding decisions are dependent on the balance of dollars available in the interest account of the Wadewitz Fund. United Way of Racine County reserves the right to adjust the fund structure at any time. 

Fund Eligibility

The Wadewitz Fund is open to impact partners currently funded through the annual investment process (i.e., those receiving monthly allocations for health, education, financial stability and/or essential services programs). Applicants must be in compliance with all community investment policies and procedures and funding agreement terms and conditions, including timely reporting and the maintenance of funding eligibility through the provision of current documentation via eCImpact.
