The United Way of West Florida is proud to announce the approval of Mini Grant awards for 12 local nonprofits, each receiving up to $5,000, for a total amount of $49,839. These one-time grants have been approved by the United Way of West Florida Board of Directors demonstrating a commitment to increasing the capacity of the small non-profit community.
“This funding opportunity is a testament to our dedication to supporting Escambia and Santa Rosa County nonprofits in their quest to bolster their organizations and better serve our communities,” said President/CEO Laura Gilliam. “We are particularly keen on reaching grassroots agencies to help them increase their ability to serve.”
