Funding opportunities
The United Way system is a unique
approach to identifying community needs and funding
programs that target local issues to influence
measurable positive change.
Non-profit organizations are
eligible to receive funds in three ways:
- Community Impact Grants:
available for specific programs that align with
the United Way Impact Areas. Programs
receiving funding must be measured by the recipient.
Grant RFP time lines, available funding and Impact
areas receiving funds vary from year to year.
Please check with the United Way Executive Director
regarding this process.
- Response Fund Grants:
available for emerging or emergency needs.
These grants are given on a one-time basis and
available throughout the year as needed.
- Year-Round Community Partner:
formally known as a United Way Participating Agency.
Year-round partners receive an annual allocation
from United Way and automatically submit funding
requests each year to United Way. Request for
funds are due by March 1 each year. if
approved, funding will begin during the same
calendar year. Notification will be given
between May 15 and June 15.
