MARTINSBURG, WV – United Way of the Eastern Panhandle (UWEP) is pleased to announce the opening of the 2024-2025 LIVE UNITED grant applications. 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 education, financial stability, health, and basic needs.

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