SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of a Contract with United Way of Tarrant County in the Amount
of $199,500.00 to Fund Various Organizations and Coordinate Area Agencies and Social
Service Programs for the Benefit of the Entire Fort Worth Community for Fiscal Year 2023
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a contract with United Way of
Tarrant County in the amount of $199,500.00 to fund various organizations and coordinate area
agencies and social service programs that meet the City's criteria for serving a public purpose to
benefit the Fort Worth community for Fiscal Year 2023.
DISCUSSION:
During the Fiscal Year 2023 budget process, the City Council approved financial support for the
United Way of Tarrant County (United Way) in the amount of $199,500.00, which is currently budgeted
in Neighborhood Services department's General Fund Budget in order to fund various agencies and
social service programs throughout the City. The City contracts with United Way to administer and
distribute these funds to agencies that provide social service programs that meet the City's established
criteria. The City will make a single payment in the amount of $199,500.00, and the United Way will
have discretion to select the particular agencies and funding amounts subject to the criteria listed
below designed to ensure that the funds are used for a public benefit in the Fort Worth community. In
exchange for the funds, United Way will choose agencies based on these criteria and deliver quarterly
reports detailing how the funds were expended by United Way and the chosen agencies.
United Way shall apply the following criteria to ensure that the agencies chosen serve a public
purpose through investing money, expertise, and other resources to improve lives and communities in
benefit of the entire Fort Worth Community:
• Agencies must have a valid current designation of tax-exempt status under 26 USC 501 from the
United States Internal Revenue Service.
• Agencies must have a mission statement and service plan that aligns with public safety.
• Agencies must not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction,
or proselytizing, as a part of the program or services funded by City dollars. Inherently religious
activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs, activities, or services
supported by City funds.
• Agencies must submit documentation attesting to and demonstrating the entity's capacity to
deliver specified services.
• Agencies must demonstrate to United Way via site visits that the nature and performance of the
proposed service meets the above -listed criteria.
This is the City's thirteenth year to collaborate with United Way to disseminate funds and provide
coordination with area agencies. The contract requires these funds to be used for programming within
the City. This allows the City, through United Way, to continue to provide financial assistance to non-
profit agencies who offer critical social services for the benefit of the entire Fort Worth community.
United Way has over 87 years of experience investing money, expertise and other resources to
improve lives and communities. These programs will provide the public with a clear benefit by
providing mentorship and training to children to help ensure they remain in school and by ensuring the
health, safety, and welfare of Fort Worth citizens, specifically those who are experiencing or survivors
