Creating social change and opportunity for all isn’t easy. It takes every one of us, working together.
A key piece of mobilizing resources is getting them to the right people and place. Our funded partners and other partner nonprofits play an invaluable role in that equation.
Whether you’re looking for funding opportunities, volunteers or purposeful programs to build your nonprofit, United Way is uniquely positioned to help you out.
We appreciate your interest in seeking funding opportunities through United Way Quad Cities. We encourage you to check back periodically and sign up for notifications on potential future opportunities.
United Way Quad Cities will provide one-time funding for organizations working to address needs in the African American community and become part of the solution with an emphasis on education, income, and health.
We offer a variety of grants focused on making an impact in the areas of education, income and health.
