Community Impact Grants awarded to nonprofits are how donors invest local dollars in our communities. We depend on strong partnerships with nonprofit organizations to make Central West Virginia better for everyone.

United Way of Central WV's funding decisions are made through an annual competitive application process in order to direct grant funding to the most effective programs. Grant dollars are invested in high performing nonprofit organizations that provide programs and services aligned with our four impact areas of education, health, financial stability and safety net (basic needs). Citizen Review Teams, made up of trained community volunteers, review the Community Impact Grants, conduct site visits and make fund allocation recommendations to United Way's Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for all final funding decisions. Organizations receiving funds are accountable for the responsible use of those funds and must file mid-year and final reports measuring their service impact.
