COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANT PROGRAM

At United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley we work to unite people and resources to build resilient communities that thrive. Dedicated to facilitating lasting social change, we work together with businesses, government, schools, faith groups, community members, and other nonprofits, because it takes the whole community to achieve the kind of results we need. Our priorities include: developing housing for all; strengthening children and families; convening community leaders; and, meeting basic needs. 
2021 GRANT PROGRAM:
United Way is partnering with Willamette University MBA Community Grant Program to facilitate the community grants for 2021. If you have questions about how to access the grant application, contact Andrew Galen.

Willamette MBA Community Grant Program:
With open hearts and minds, we are welcoming everyone into this funding opportunity. 

This funding opportunity is for all kinds of community-based organizations—newly forming or established organizations—and for organizations making a pivot in their programs. You are going the extra mile to strengthen communities in the hardest of hard times. 
  
It is our goal to hear from all organizations that fit in our funding areas. If you are new to grant applications, we encourage you to apply. Apply by answering questions through our online form. Your answers to those questions act as your “Letter of Intent” (“LOI”). This means if we select your LOI to move to the second step in this process, you intend to send us a grant proposal using our online form. The first three major events are: 
  • November 19, 2020 from 5:00 to 6:30 PM for an optional virtual information about the LOI - REGISTER here
  • November 30, 2020, 12:00 PM PST (noon) - LOI due - APPLY here and find more information here
  • December 10, 2020 - Selected organizations invited to submit a grant proposal
  
If you are new to funding requests or have questions, please let us know. We can be reached via email mba-community-grant-program@willamette.edu. We are happy to set up a time to help over the phone as well. And we will be posting responses to Frequently Asked Questions on our website. 
  
We thank you, in what is now the fifth year of this Willamette MBA Community Grant Program, for considering this funding opportunity. Because of what you do and plan to do, we hope this funding opportunity can help change lives. 
  
We hope to hear from you!
