The United Way will be using a new grant process for COVID-19-related grants as well as any funding requests through 2022.
The funds for United Way R4 Grants: Respond, Recover, Reimagine & Rebuild may be used for short-term projects and longer-term needs through December 31, 2021, organizational or collaborative initiatives, operational or program support, or needs due to or exacerbated by COVID-19, or needs not related to COVID-19.
United Way of Marshall County Executive Director Linda Yoder stated in a press release that recovery is the new mindset and officials at United Way will assist those who need help in achieving that.
Organizations that are working to fight for the education, financial stability, and health of Marshall County households may apply for a United Way R4 Grant at https://www.marshallcountyuw.org/R4Grant by clicking on “United Way R4 Grant Application.” The grant application will remain open to continue to respond to changing or emerging needs.
Funding will come from grants secured in partnership with the Marshall County Community Foundation and Marshall County Crossroads team, along with Indiana United Ways, the Lilly Endowment, and the United Way annual campaign.
