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.
