The United Way of Western Connecticut is seeking applications for its Regional Grant Opportunity.
Donor Name: United Way of Western Connecticut
State: Connecticut
Towns: Selected Towns
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 03/16/2022
Grant Duration: 1 year
Details:
The organization will provide funding for nonprofits that operate programs in the following three areas: 1) Early Childhood Education (serving children ages 0-5); 2) After-school programming (serving children ages 5-18); and 3) Financial stability.
“Every child should have access to safe, quality care, education, and enrichment opportunities. Parents with limited incomes often cannot afford the costs of quality child care for their infants and toddlers. For their school-aged children, after-school care and enrichment activities are often out of reach,” Almeida said. “United Way funding levels the playing field, providing opportunity and access to key educational supports for all households.”
ALICE households are often one emergency away from financial crises. United Way funded financial stability programs help families budget their limited incomes while providing resources and training that give them the skills they need to obtain better, higher-paying jobs.
Funding will be announced during the month of June 2022 and will be allocated from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible nonprofits must serve individuals in United Way of Western Connecticut’s 15-town region of Bethel, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Danbury, Kent, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown, Redding, Ridgefield, Roxbury, Sherman, Stamford, Warren, and Washington.
