The Department of Social Services desires to establish a single feasible source contract with United Way of Greater St. Louis to coordinate the distribution of direct assistance funding to qualifying households across the State of Missouri. House Bill 11.256 requires the following: “For an organization founded in 1922 that provides and deploys accountable funding and support for nonprofits statewide focused on basic needs, financial stability, childhood development and youth services, health and wellbeing, and education.” United Way of Greater St. Louis is the only organization founded in 1922 capable of providing and deploying accountable funding and support for nonprofits statewide focused on basic needs, financial stability, childhood development and youth services, health and wellbeing, and education.
