United Way Grants

United Way of the Eastern Panhandle (UWEP) is pleased to announce the opening of the 2025-2026 LIVE UNITED grant application. Any 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, including schools and government agencies, that serve the West Virginia counties of Morgan, Berkeley and Jefferson are eligible to apply for funding.

Through the Community Solutions Fund, United Way works to strengthen the nonprofit sector by investing in local programs that align with the organization’s four strategic impact areas of Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, a Healthy Community, and Community Resiliency. Applications should demonstrate consistency with the United Way mission, values, priorities, and commitment to addressing identified community needs.

An organization may submit multiple applications for separate programs. However, any funded program may receive only one LIVE UNITED grant per UWEP’s fiscal year which runs from July 1 to June 30. All grant proposals must align with United Way’s impact areas.

The application process is overseen by UWEP’s Board of Directors and its Community Investment Committee.

A virtual information meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 25^th at 10:00 a.m. Attending the meeting is not required but highly recommended.

The grant application period will run from June 17, 2025 to July 4, 2025.
