United Way of Southeast Alaska is accepting Community Impact Grant applications. Up to $15,000 in Community Impact funds will be awarded to applicants who successfully demonstrate community needs that pertain to health, education or income stability.
The criteria used in the past will guide the selection process: collaboration, matching funds and having a clearly stated, focused and achievable goal with measurable outcomes. Funds may not exceed $2,500 for any individual award. Funds can be used to pay salaries, purchase materials or pay for outreach. However, funds cannot be used to pay for overhead costs such as rent or utilities.

This is a competitive grant application process for the 2016/2017 year. Applications are not limited to United Way of Southeast Alaska partner agencies. Applicants may collaborate with United Way partner agencies or other non-profit entities.
