Good news happens. This week’s episode discusses United Way’s Indigenous Communities Fund. Since the fund was launched in 2020, we’ve granted about $5 million to local groups to address many needs in King County’s Indigenous Communities.

Hourglass sat down with Marlo Klein, United Way Senior Community Impact Manager of Housing Stability, and Liahann Bannerman, United Way Senior Director of Equitable Philanthropy, to discuss the impact of the Indigenous Fund and recent changes that enable us to partner with more local organizations.

We will also discuss our upcoming Happy Hour and Hellos event, as well as a local volunteer opportunity.
