United Way of Leeds & Grenville Funding Applications Now Open

Brockville – United Way Leeds & Grenville believes that every person deserves the opportunities, access and connections they need to build a good life—regardless of their income, the neighbourhood they live in, or their social identity.

One way we work to achieve this vision is through our grants. Our United Way identifies and awards these to community agencies across Leeds & Grenville with the aim of achieving the greatest impact. Every grant opportunity supports a wide array of services and support for people living in poverty across the region.

Funding for the Community Investment Fund is dispersed to programs in Leeds & Grenville that fall into one of three community impact areas:

• Helping Kids Be All They Can Be
• Moving People From Poverty to Possibility
• Building Strong and Healthy Communities

Each year our community funding process adapts to the changing and emerging needs locally. We recruit knowledgeable community volunteers to work through a rigorous review process with our staff to ensure that funding is distributed to the areas of most need. Funding is provided to partner agencies for specific programs which allows them the flexibility to develop and respond to the evolving needs of the communities they serve.
