​
The United Fund awarded $49,480 in special grants to 14 of their current community partners at its recent Board of Director’s meeting. This is another way the United Fund invests in the community, through special grants to meet specific needs and support special projects. The 2024 special grants were awarded due to the success of the 2023 campaign.

These grants fund short-term projects or one-time expenses that will have a positive impact in the community.
