DONOR CHOICE APPLICATION

The 2023 Donor Choice application is now closed. Official partner announcements will be made in January 2023.
 
Becoming a partner agency has never been easier or more rewarding. Our 2023 application is new and more user-friendly. Nonprofit organizations of all sizes and compositions are welcome and encouraged to apply. Everything you need to get started is provided below. Questions? Connect with the Aloha United Way Community Impact team at impact@auw.org.

Eligibility requirements

  • Must earn a minimum of $25,000 in revenue
  • Compliant with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs

Exciting updates for 2023 applicants: Agencies with less than three years of 990 operating capital are now eligible to apply. There is no longer an audit requirement for agencies with more than $500,000 in revenue. This eligibility expansion creates greater opportunity for potential partners.
