Summary
This grant provides financial support to nonprofit and human service organizations working to improve outcomes in areas such as health, education, economic stability, and basic needs.
Eligible applicants are registered nonprofit organizations, tax-exempt human service agencies, and similar charitable entities. Individual people and for-profit businesses are generally not eligible; grants are intended for organizations with established governance and financial oversight. Awards are aimed at supporting programs and initiatives that create measurable community impact, such as services for families facing hardship, education and youth development, health and wellness programs, housing stability supports, and collaborative efforts that address local priorities.
The total pool of funds available can vary widely from one United Way chapter to another, with some local United Ways investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in community grants each year through their impact and community support funds. Individual awards often range from modest amounts for small programs up to larger sums that help expand services or pilot innovative work, depending on community needs and available funding.
The application process usually includes an initial letter of intent or community investment step followed by a full proposal, and may involve reviews by volunteer committees and site visits. Awarded funds are typically distributed over a defined funding period, require reporting on outcomes, and are intended to strengthen the capacity of local nonprofits to deliver services that improve lives and foster long-term community wellbeing.
