United Way of Dane County Now Accepting Applications for 2025-2026 Investment Cycle
MADISON – (April 1, 2024) At United Way of Dane County, we’re proud to invest in and partner with agencies that support our Plan for Community Well-Being – a plan built with our community, for our community. This vision for a brighter future focuses on increasing individual and family wellbeing so that everyone in Dane County can lead healthy, happy and secure lives – making our entire community stronger and better positioned to thrive.
Our Plan for Community Well-Being includes strategies and investments that aim to help local families and individuals overcome barriers and access the building blocks of well-being – a quality education, a family supporting job and health supports. Because we know that when we connect the dots across these areas, we can most effectively address the root causes of issues facing our community, interrupt systems and provide direct services to families experiencing disparities.
Working to solve our community’s greatest issues requires long-term investments. With that in mind, Impact Grants awarded through this process will be two-year grant commitments spanning from January 2025-December 2026.
Our Request for Proposal (RFP) Process is launching today, April 1, 2024, with applications due by May 17, 2024.
This RFP encourages organizations doing outstanding work in the areas of Youth Opportunity, Financial Security and Healthy Communities to apply for funding aligning to our collective vision. To learn more and apply, visit our website.
