United Way to offer mini grants

   May 23, 2023

This fall, United Way of West Florida will offer mini grants, up to $5,000, for nonprofit organizations in Santa Rosa County and Escambia County.

  • “We are particularly interested in supporting grassroots agencies making a positive impact on marginalized communities residing in hard-to-reach areas with limited resources,” said United Way of West Florida CEO Laura Gilliam.

Why this matter: These grants will be helpful for nonprofits seeking to develop their organizational structure, pursue short-term organization development goals, or execute a one-time project.

Dig Deeper:

To be eligible for consideration, agencies must be registered 501(c)3 organizations focusing on education, health, and financial stability services. They must demonstrate financial trustworthiness, maintain an active Board of Directors, and operate with an organizational revenue under $250,000. The application period for mini grants will open in July 2023.
