GRANT OPPORTUNITIES

United Way of Central New York is excited to announce its upcoming grant opportunities for community-based organizations providing health and human services. This year, we will be making Community Program Grants and Support Grants.

Community Program Grants (2024-2026)

Our Community Program Grant funding process is two-tiered. First, organizations or fiscal agents must pass our fiscal and management standards review; after doing so, eligible organizations are able to submit program-level proposals for funding.
