Project Proposal
Although it is our intent to meet all of the needs of the community on Live United Day, United Way of Cass County reserves the right to accept or deny applications based upon available skills of the volunteers performing the work. Some projects may require specific skills developed through training, certification, and/or licensing. Although we will try to match skills to meet project needs, if the proper volunteer is not aligned with a project, we may have to decline the opportunity to work on all or portions of a project. Examples of such projects include: heavy equipment operation, cutting/sawing operations, working at heights or in lifts, electrical or mechanical work, and so on. Please do not hesitate to submit projects that include these skills, however, please understand if we cannot secure volunteers with the skills necessary to complete the work, the project may be denied. It is our goal to work “UNITED” and safely for Cass County to make this a better place for all.
