THIS PROCESS IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW APPLICATIONS.
2026-2027
United Way of South Central Michigan is partnering with non-profit agencies in Calhoun, Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, Jackson and Kalamazoo counties that address the needs of people in financial hardship and persons who have been historically oppressed and marginalized. The 15-month 2026-27 Community Impact Grants are focused on supporting initiatives which lift our local communities by:
- Reducing racial and economic disparities;
- Addressing the needs of Asset-Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) households in financial stability, and safety net (basic needs);
- Creating opportunities for every person to reach their full potential.
Grant requests are now under review.
