Since 1996, United Way of Eagle River Valley has provided grants to local programs that make a measurable impact in the lives of our community members.
Our 2024 granting cycle will open in late summer, with awards planned for October.
We accept applications for the following focus areas:
Early Childhood: Programs applying in this focus area must be helping children (birth to age 8) develop positive social-emotional skills including the ability to develop positive social relationships.
Health: Programs applying in this focus area must be advancing health outcomes by creating safe spaces or opportunities for families/caregivers to advance overall well-being. (Examples: Dental, medical, mental, or the health of people who take care of children or people with advanced needs.)
Financial Stability/Economic Mobility: Programs applying in this focus area should align with United Way's goal to ensure that individuals and families improve their socio-economic status. Economic mobility, or the ability of an individual or family to change their financial status, can have a multi-generational, positive impact on overall well-being by increasing access to quality healthcare, improving housing options, and broadening educational opportunities. Yet, moving up the economic ladder is difficult. Education that leads to a good job is essential.
