2020-2021 Grant Program Investments
The United Way of the Eastern Panhandle (UWEP) Board of Directors has approved funding recommendations for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. Through grants from the Community Solutions Fund, United Way of the Eastern Panhandle will invest in 47 education, financial stability, health and basic needs programs at 35 agencies throughout the Eastern Panhandle.

Applications for funding were evaluated by an all-volunteer Grants Review Committee based on quality, alignment with United Way of the Eastern Panhandle's funding priorities and ability to demonstrate measurable results. The intent of the program is to address the root causes of issues and respond to local priority needs through research-based program selection. Outcome reports will be submitted to United Way at six and twelve months.
