Community Program Fund Applications are NOW OPEN!
DEADLINE: Monday, October 21 at 4:30 pm
Our Community Program Fund is a full year of financial support intended to provide the resources necessary to run full programming or operational support projects that fit all other United Way funding criteria.
If this is the first time your agency is applying for United Way Program funds, or if you haven’t received funding in the past three years, please contact us to discuss your proposed program before completing an application.
United Way is committed to ensuring equitable and unbiased access to our funding programs. If you require special accommodations or support to complete this application, please indicate how we can best support your funding efforts.
The information you provide in this application is reviewed and assessed by the United Way Community Investment Committee, who will present its funding recommendations to the United Way Maritimes Board of Directors. Please ensure the document is completed in full. Due to the number of applications received, there may not be time to follow up for outstanding documents. If you are not sure you have the proper documents, please contact us no less than one week before the deadline to discuss. Typically there aren’t enough funds to support all application requests, so it is important to fully complete the application including clear outcomes for the program.
Community Investment Committee members may change from year to year, so they may not be familiar with your program or your agency. Therefore, it is important that Committee and Board members be able to read and understand your application. For this reason, we ask that you don’t use acronyms or wording that would not be easily understood by someone outside of your organization. It is preferred that the document is typed as handwritten applications are often difficult to read. If the document is not legible it will not be reviewed.
It is important that your application be succinct and that it be submitted on or before 4:30 pm on Monday, October 21, 2024.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact:
