2022 Community Impact Grant Applications for United Way of Northeast Georgia are officially open!
All local nonprofits should consider applying for our 2022 grants. Applications will close at 5 p.m. on June 1 and recipients will be announced at the end of August 2021. Eligibility requirements and FAQs are available on our website. Additional questions can be emailed to Mark Madison (mmadison@unitedwaynega.org).

Grants are given to nonprofit programs that are based in and provide service to community members in our 12-county region. We highly encourage collaborations of nonprofits as well as individual nonprofits' programs to apply. Applications for grants can be made in one of our three focus areas: basic needs, early childhood success, and workforce development.

Joe Vogt, Plant Manager of Solvay, has led the charge of his team's consistent engagement, and has been an active advocate for United Way of Northeast Georgia and our partners in Barrow County and beyond.
