GRANTS
STRATEGIC PARTNER GRANTS
United Way of Greater Greensboro (UWGG) offers two distinct strategic partner grants to help local children, adults, and families leave poverty: Poverty Relieving or Poverty Ending.
Poverty Ending Grant funds are open to programs or collaboratives providing services that offer clear ways for people to leave poverty by increasing and maintaining their annual household income above the federal poverty threshold. These programs will support United Way’s Bold Goal efforts to help 3,000 households leave generational poverty by 2030 by contributing to the progress of at least 125 households. This grant is for up to two years, and the available annual investment is approximately $250,000 per year.
Poverty Relieving Grant funds are open to programs or collaboratives providing services that help people find and stay on pathways out of poverty through cradle-to-career supports and services for basic needs, access to healthcare, and financial stability.
The grants process for 2023-24 investment is closed. For funding beginning in 2024, the Requests for Applications will be released in the fall. For questions or more information, please contact Carie Jones-Barrow, Director of Strategic Partnerships, at carie.barrow@unitedwaygso.org or (336) 378-6613.
