The United Way of the Big Bend seeks applications for programs with the potential to make significant progress in their five focus areas deemed critically important for a thriving community: Housing, Health and Mental health, Early Learning and education, Skills development, and Safety Net services.
Donor Name: United Way of the Big Bend
State: Florida
County: Selected Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 12/16/2022
Grant Duration: 24 months
Details:
UWBB will be funding programs within the impact areas which provide services to the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) population – essentially those living in poverty and the working poor.
UWBB is particularly interested in innovative and research-based programs with clear, measurable, quantifiable (data-supported) objectives, tasks, and outcomes. Nonprofit organizations may apply for funding for different programs in one or more of the five impact areas. No programs are funded in more than one area. A separate notice of intent to apply is required for each area of impact for which an organization seeks funding. This is to say, if an agency has a housing support program that also provides mental health counseling to participants, the agency can apply for funding either under Housing or under Health/Mental Health, but not both. If, however, an agency has two separately operating programs, one providing housing support, the other providing counseling, the agency could apply for funding for each program, separately, under each of those impact area.
Grant Period
Grant term of 24 months (July 2023 – June 2025) with mandatory quarterly reporting
