Summary
Unlock transformative funding opportunities through a competitive grant program dedicated to empowering small, Black-led nonprofit organizations in Ohio. This annual initiative targets impactful projects that support families and children living in or near poverty, with a focus on Stark and Carroll Counties.
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits led by a Black CEO or a Board of Directors comprised of at least 51% Black members, with a proven history of serving the Black community for two years. Organizations can apply for awards of up to $10,000 to fund critical activities such as early childhood education, healthcare, food assistance, and family support services.
This funding prioritizes projects that address two key areas: lessening the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) among young children and enhancing household stability for parents and caregivers of children aged 0–8. By investing in these initiatives, the program aims to create measurable impacts that foster healthier, more stable families, ultimately contributing to long-term community resilience.
The application process is designed to be accessible, requiring attendance at an in-person training session to equip applicants with the necessary tools for success. Funded organizations are expected to engage in regular check-ins with United Way representatives, ensuring accountability and alignment with community investment priorities.
This grant not only provides essential financial support but also cultivates a collaborative environment for local nonprofits to thrive and effect meaningful change.
Seize this opportunity to make a positive impact in your community while addressing pressing needs related to poverty and education. The potential for lasting change is within reach, empowering organizations to uplift and support families in underserved areas.
