United Way of Siouxland announced in May of 2022 a new approach to funding programs. The organization’s move from a funded partner grant program to an open model provides critical flexibility to respond to the changing needs of Siouxland.
Revising the grant model maximizes the positive impact United Way support has on our community by allowing outcomes to be updated based on community need.
United Way has undergone an in-depth process to analyze local data, gather feedback from dozens of industry leaders from law enforcement, healthcare, education, workforce development, and more to set new goals for the future. The open Community Impact funding model allows any Siouxland nonprofit who can help solve these key issues apply for United Way support.
Grants will be based on a 3-year cycle, with annual reporting and evaluation.
