Parenting Time of New Horizons Crisis Center receives Community Impact Grant

The Parenting Time program of New Horizons Crisis Center has been awarded a community impact grant from the United Way of Southwest Minnesota (UWSWMN) of $15,000.  These funds will help cover the cost of providing supervised visits and safe exchanges for estranged parents and their child(ren) to ensure safety and continue the parent-child bond.  This work aligns with UWSWMN’s safety and well-being priority area.

UWSWMN makes a difference in the lives of local people by investing in programs focused on the health, education, financial stability, hunger, and safety & well-being of people living in our service area.  Our service area includes the communities we serve in Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Yellow Medicine, and portions of Cottonwood, Lac qui Parle, Nobles, and Redwood counties in Minnesota. 

Community impact grants are the main way UWSWMN invests donations into our communities.  The community impact grant process involves local volunteers who help review funding requests and collaborate to make funding recommendations to our board of directors.  For the 2022-23 funding cycle, a total of $212,822 has been awarded to programs working to improve the lives of local people.
