APPLY FOR FUNDING

Funding Opportunities

Every year, United Way opens a funding call for one of three priority areas on a rotating basis. Our funding priorities are All That Kids Can Be, Healthy People, Strong Communities and Poverty to Possibility.

Accepting applications in 2025

From Poverty to Possibility priority area: Meeting basic human needs and moving people out of poverty.

The From Poverty to Possibility priority area will invest in programs throughout Niagara that address issues of food security, housing stability and income stability.

Application Process

There is a two-step application process. The first step is the Letter of Intent (LOI), that will be available on January 4, 2025. Successful applicants to the LOI will then be invited to submit a full application, which will be available in February 2025. Funding for successful applicants will begin in April 2026.
