Community Impact Grants
United Way funds 501(c)3 tax-exempt organizations--providing service to Benton and/or Lincoln county, Oregon residents--through one-year grants that create the capacity to meet immediate needs and effect long term community change.
Our grant funding model relies on a process that includes: researching the needs of the community, applying best practices from proven programs, identifying agency partners using a competitive grant process, and tracking implementation. Funded programs are reviewed annually by our panel of volunteers (Granting Committees) with the expertise to make sure we are maximizing your contributions and achieving measurable results.
Proposals for the next funding cycle will be solicited in early 2011. If you would like to be notified of the next request for proposals, email Andrea Arzner or call 541-757-7717.
