Community Impact Grants

Community Impact is how we invest in impact, focusing on making a difference for those living in our 12 county region. United Way of Northeast Georgia’s Community Impact Grant funds programs that provide direct services to meet the most pressing needs in our three focus areas: basic needs, early childhood success, and workforce development. We can move the needle in these areas when we LIVE UNITED.

Grant applications are open each year from May 1 – June 1. Eligibility for Community Impact Grants can be found here. Applications are then carefully reviewed by a team of volunteer grant reviewers from across our region. At the end of the summer, grant recipients are announced at our Community Celebration and receive financial funding for the entirety of the following year, providing quarterly updates to United Way about their program.
