BACKGROUND

United Way continues to shift its community impact agenda to promote financial opportunity and prosperity and advance an economically just region.

To help shape future strategies, United Way is providing one-year unrestricted grants to local coalitions and grassroots organizations that are currently implementing initiatives or campaigns to affect local change, or Community Action.

The United Way Community Action Grants will be awarded to strategies that are collective action (led by agencies) or grassroots action (led by residents within a community) and work to expand one of the following four avenues to economic prosperity:

  • Early Education and Out-of-School Time: Quality, affordable early education and out-of-school time programs when and where they are needed, offering developmentally appropriate learning environments that support social emotional wellbeing.
  • Youth and Young Adult Pathways: Educational and career pathways for marginalized youth and young adults audaciously charting their own course to economic prosperity.
  • Housing Stability: A continuum of housing opportunities, resources, and supports that are effectively resulting in homelessness becoming a brief, exceedingly rare, one-time event.
  • Economic Inclusion and Wealth Building: Economic systems are fair and equitable, supporting individuals to experience financial stability and economic mobility.
