United Way accepting applications for impact funding

Applications are open for the next three-year cycle of impact funding from United Way Perth Huron.

A release from UWPH says that the application process runs from February 12 until March 12 at midnight. The funding cycle is for three years running from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029.

The impact funding is meant to "provide financial stability for ongoing projects and/or programs that are part of an organization’s overarching structure and mission," according to the release.

UWPH is inviting anyone in the area to submit program funding requests. A full list of eligibility rules is available here: https://perthhuron.unitedway.ca/.

"A focus for us continues to be addressing local needs by funding partners that deliver important programs and services responding to poverty mitigation and prioritizing equity-denied groups," said Leah Kennedy, UWPH Manager, Community Impact. "We look forward to receiving EOIs from organizations and groups who work to improve lives and build belonging in Perth and/or Huron."

If an organization or group has never applied for UWPH funding before, contact Leah Kennedy at [email protected] prior to starting the EOI. Appointments will be booked until March 7.
