Grant Opportunities
Community Investment Grants
United Way is on a mission to advance the education, economic mobility, and health of our community by mobilizing resources, people, and organizations because we envision an equitable Lancaster County where every individual has an opportunity to succeed, and the entire community thrives as a result. We want to address complex community issues by investing in the basic building blocks that every person – and every community – need to thrive: Education, Economic Mobility, Health and Well-being, and Basic/Emerging needs. We aim to serve individuals who are historically or currently marginalized and/or are suffering from systemic inequities that impede their ability to reach and maintain financial independence through family-sustaining employment.
We seek to accelerate proven and innovative solutions via focused Community Investment Grants (CIGs). These CIGs are made possible by the donations of thousands of community investors each year, and United Way is committed to serving as a strategic steward of these dollars. We plan to be a contributor to the work; grantees will receive support through the connections and opportunities we bring, including volunteers and other resources, to aid their success.

Local Innovations in Vaccine Equity in Pennsylvania project (LIVE PA) grant:
Under this initiative, community-based coalitions can apply to their local United Ways for flexible funding and additional vaccine allocations in order to bring vaccinations to the gathering places and even the doorsteps of minority and vulnerable populations (African Americans, Latinos, immigrants, refugees, people who are elderly and isolated, people experiencing homelessness, urban and rural populations living in poverty, single parents, etc.) in areas of disparity and need identified by DHS and DOH.
