United Way is on a mission to make Lancaster County a thriving community for all our neighbors. To achieve this goal, we’ve created Level Up & Launch – a grant program that will invest a total of $500,000 in innovative projects that address service gaps and disparities in the community. By focusing on the three main building blocks of education, economic mobility and health & wellbeing , we aim to serve those marginalized individuals who are suffering from systemic inequities. Our Level Up & Launch grants provide not only funding for these projects, but ongoing support to the grantees to enable their success.
