United Way’s allocation process is now open! If your organization is interested in applying for funding for the 25-26 year, the first step is to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) (Certification documents). You must submit a separate LOI for each program for which you are requesting funding.
The LOI submission period is open through March 17. To access the LOI visit https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=chathamcounty.
If you have submitted funding for United Way or Chatham County before, enter your username and password. If you are a first-time applicant seeking funding, click Create New Account. If your agency has applied for funding previously, but you are a new user, please reach out to United Way so we can add you to the agency profile – DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT.
Following the review of LOIs, eligible organizations will be invited to submit a full application for United Way funding on March 31. The application deadline will be April 18.
United Way is in the process of aligning its funding to make the greatest impact on ending and preventing poverty in Chatham County. During this transition year, we’ve simplified the application process to assess how well your program aligns with the Bold Goal priority areas and evaluate your agency’s capacity for collaboration. The application will be 5-7 questions, and there will be no site visit or Q&A session. Once you submit your application the United Way Board will make funding decisions, to be announced by June 15. You can expect to see volunteers return to our allocation process next year with a more robust process.
The allocation process is expected to be highly competitive this year, as new program requests are allowed. Prior funding levels are not guaranteed. To that end, agencies may submit an LOI for no more than TWO separate programs.
We value the work you do in our community and look forward to partnering with you through this process. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our office at 919-542-1110.
