Any non-profit, human service organization serving UWGAT’s eleven community areas including: Attleboro, Berkley, Dighton, Mansfield, North Attleboro, Norton, Plainville, Raynham, Rehoboth, Seekonk, and Taunton are eligible to submit a letter of intent to apply for FY’11 funding. This meeting is not mandatory for any eligible 501 (c) 3 interested in submitting a letter of intent, however, it is highly encouraged , as this will be the only forum to ask questions and receive detailed information regarding United Way of Greater Attleboro/Taunton’s funding grant process.
