An additional program established at the Supervisor's Office is the Cunningham Township/City of Urbana Consolidated Social Service Grants Program which distributes grants to local non-profit agencies also serving low-income persons.
The Assessor's Office is responsible for determining the fair market value of taxable property within Cunningham Township so that the tax burden is distributed equitably.
