Our Mission
United Way of Champaign County brings people and resources together to create positive change and lasting impact in our community.
One Gift. Big Impact.
United Way's Community Impact Fund Grants are a key part of our fight to improve the future of Champaign County.
Every two years, our grant funding process opens for programs working to improve Health, Education or Financial Stability to apply for two years of funding. The review process is thorough, volunteer-led, and competitive. All programs receive a site visit by a team of community volunteers and are scrutinized by the Community Impact Committee and the Board of Directors. All decisions are made on a local level.
