TEN south-west community organisations have received a share of $30,000 from United Way Glenelg to help fund health, education, and employment and skill initiatives.

Grants were awarded through a competitive request for funding, a process that takes over four months to complete. Proposals were assessed by donors who sit on a Volunteer Allocations Panel.
