Apply for a Grant

• United Way of Indian River County will begin accepting Letters of Intent beginning November 2026, in our Education Areas through the Community Investment Process. The Community Investment Process was established to invest in high-performing nonprofit organizations that provide programs and services aligned with our strategic priority Impact Areas of Education, Financial Stability, and Health. Grant funding recipients help to improve community conditions across our county.

UWIRC operates on a two-year funding cycle and is open to nonprofit organizations serving Indian River County residents and can demonstrate measurable participant progress based on outcomes and indicators set forth by UWIRC in one of the following Education Areas:

 

Financial Stability

• Early Learning – All children are nurtured by caregivers who promote early learning and development to prepare them for kindergarten.
• School Success – All children succeed and achieve in school. Students will continue to stay on track for High School Readiness.
• Graduate for Success – Students graduate high school on time, prepared for continuing education, work, and life. 

 

Agencies and programs must submit a Letter of Intent by 4:00 PM on December 2, 2026, to be considered for grant funding. The LOI must be submitted electronically through the United Way’s web-based grant platform e-CImpact. Once all submitted LOI’s are reviewed, agencies will be notified if they are approved to move forward in the grant process.
