COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANT PROGRAM

Grant Program Details:
We seek proposals from 501(c)(3) organizations, those with a qualified tax-exempt fiscal sponsor, or those with tax exemption as a governmental, tribal or other publicly-funded entity. Organizations must be located in and serving Marion, Polk, and/or Yamhill counties and address one of the two focus areas. We plan to fund a total of $100,000 in grants for each focus area. Dependent upon proposals received, we reserve the right to not award all available funds.
Requests can range in size from $5,000-$25,000. We intend to split funds evenly between Salem-Keizer (including W. Salem), Polk County, Yamhill County, and rural Marion County. Dependent upon proposals received, this would be $25,000 per geographic area for each of the focus areas. Organizations may submit only one grant application for this cycle and must prioritize one of the two focus areas.
Community Impact Grants are designed to be one-time investments to strengthen an existing program or catalyze a new project or initiative. We are looking to fund existing programs that have significant impact and encouraging new, innovative solutions. We will invest in high performing nonprofit organizations that provide programs and services aligned with one of the two focus areas. 
United Way staff and board, as well as a volunteer Community Investment Task Force, will participate in grant review.
​
Provision of Funding: This is a one-time grant for up to 12-months, not a recurring source of funding.
