At United Way, we convene the resources needed to solve our community’s most critical problems. One of those resources is charitable dollars. United Way raises funds, then oversees the investment of your hard-earned dollars back into activities and programs that demonstrate positive impact toward solving the problem.
But we don’t do that alone.
We depend on teams of local content and context experts who volunteer their time to develop each Request for Proposal and to evaluate applications. They help us invest your donation into local nonprofits and collaborations that empower individuals and families with resources to support upward mobility. United Way works to make demonstrable impact toward a chosen goal and has developed four Pathways research shows have the strongest links to upward mobility.

Applications are evaluated via a blind review, ensuring no potential favoritism by anyone who may have professional relationships with applicants.

All funding recommendations are then approved by our Board of Directors.
We utilize the e-CImpact software to manage grant applications, progress reports, and accountability documents. If you are a new applicant, you will choose the “New to e-CImpact” selection at the bottom of the login page.
