2020 Community Impact Grants
What is a Community Impact Grant?
United Way of North Central Iowa Community Impact Grants are how we invest local dollars in our communities to address specific community centered issues. Funding decisions are made through a competitive application process. Our Community Impact Grants are invested in high performing nonprofit organizations that provide programs and services aligned with our strategic priority areas of Childhood Success, Youth Success, Economic Mobility and Access to Health. Applications are reviewed by dedicated community volunteers and allocated by Community Impact Teams.
