UWCM COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANTS

Creating lasting change takes strong partnerships. That's why United Way of Central Massachusetts is proud to open applications for our Community Impact Grants, supporting nonprofit programs that advance Youth Opportunity, Healthy Communities, Financial Security, and Community Resilience across Central Massachusetts.

These investments help local organizations address critical community needs, expand access to essential services, and create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive. Funding awarded through this cycle will support programs from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2028.

Grant awards typically range from $10,000 to $80,000, with a median award of approximately $35,000. Funding levels are determined through UWCM's annual fundraising campaign and may be adjusted after the first year based on campaign performance and program outcomes.
