United Way Perth-Huron announces the opening of their impact funding process, with expressions of interest (EOI) accepted until April 15, 2022 for three-year funding beginning on April 1, 2023.

“This is an exciting time for United Way and our region as we launch this application process,” said Director of Governance and Community Impact Megan Partridge. “While United Way continues expanding our work in support of local communities, one of the cores of what we do is address local needs by providing funding to supported partners to help deliver programs to vulnerable people. We look forward to receiving EOIs to deliver programs and services in Perth and/or Huron County from a variety of organizations and groups.”

Three-year impact funding is intended to provide increased financial stability for ongoing projects and/or programs that are part of an organization’s over-arching structure and mission. United Way gives everyone in our community an equal opportunity to submit program funding requests; organizations not currently funded by United Way are welcome to apply. United Way is currently limited to funding registered charities and qualified donees (as defined by the Canada Revenue Agency), but encourages any group or organization that does not feel they meet the criteria to reach out to Megan Partridge.

EOIs must be submitted by April 15, 2022 at midnight. All applicants will be notified by April 26, 2022 whether their EOIs are approved, declined or need further clarification. EOIs selected to move on in the process will receive access to the full application.

United Way is committed to supporting applicants throughout the process. For any questions or help, please contact Megan Partridge at mpartridge@perthhuron.unitedway.ca or 519-271-7730 x 225. For full impact funding guidelines, GO HERE.
