Partner Agency Information
Each Decatur County United Fund Agency's program is but a part of a total health, welfare, and character-building group of services designed to meet the need of our community. Decatur County United Fund has the responsibility to consider the community program as a whole when investing funds. With needs increasing, the community investment process becomes a challenge for dedicated committee volunteers. Convening annually, committee members are responsible for hearing presentations and scrutinizing budgets to spend United Fund dollars in the most efficient way possible.
