Details:
United Way invests in partners across the region to provide the building blocks to stabilize households and achieve community identified goals– via access to health care, stable housing, safety from abuse, access to food, early learning, workforce development, and legal assistance.
They do this through supporting models of service that are both powerful and historically underresourced, furthering community driven efforts in their target geographies, and supporting deep and meaningful relationships between United way and non-profit partners.
United Way’s 2023-24 funding will support four grant strategies: Place-Based Wraparound Services, Place-Based Issue-Focused Services, Regionwide Wraparound Services, and Regionwide Issue-Focused Services. These grant strategies each employ different approaches to achieving United Way’s ultimate goals of stabilizing low-income families in crisis and building back stronger, more equitable communities.
