United Way Grant Application Process Now Open for Wayne & Pike County
The Wayne County and Pike County United Way Fund Distribution Committee is pleased to announce it is now accepting grant applications for grant opportunities. Over the past 16 years, United Way has successfully distributed over $905,250 to non-profit human service organizations that provide critical programs and services in Wayne & Pike County.
Organizations seeking funding must be non-profit, 501(c)(3) health and human service organizations providing in-person, direct services in Wayne County. Funding may be requested for existing programs, new programs or initiatives, program expansion and capital items. Grants that are made available to organizations range from $500 to $4,000. These funds distributed to the community were raised during last year’s United Way of Lackawanna, Wayne & Pike campaign by individuals, businesses and foundations who specifically wanted to support services for Wayne and/or Pike County residents.
This year’s application is running through our e-C impact online grant system. Please watch the video below for a comprehensive tutorial on how to apply through our online system. In order to apply for funding, you must reach out to William Craven at wcraven@uwlc.net to get login information. The deadline to submit applications is July 23rd.
The applications will be reviewed by the Wayne County and Pike County United Way Fund Distribution Committee which is composed of volunteers who live and/or work in Wayne County or Pike County. The committee is responsible for all funding decisions.
E-C Impact
