All Rutland County nonprofit (501c3) agencies are invited to submit proposals for projects or programs that will address issues within one or more of United Way of Rutland County’s Community Impact focus areas: Health, Education, and Financial Stability. Community Impact Committee members consist of local volunteers with backgrounds in our three pillars of focus that are actively involved in the Rutland Community. Our committees carefully review applications alongside our board of directors to determine grantees through a collaborative decision-making process. Once funding is awarded, the UWRC team thoughtfully works with grantees to promote program success and serves as a resource to ensure program implementation!
At United Way of Rutland County, we understand the nature of today’s grant processes. We recognize that our local non-profits rely on grant funding for many of their projects and programs that directly serve our Rutland community members most in need. Grant processes can often be complex, time consuming, confusing, require strict parameters to qualify, and have long waiting periods when it comes to funding timelines.
Our grant process is designed to be clear, inclusive, and focused on supporting the vital work of local 501(c)(3) organizations.
If you are a qualified nonprofit based in Rutland County and interested in applying for a grant, you can view our training presentation here, or email us at [email protected] to schedule a virtual Q&A session.
