United Way of Metropolitan Dallas: Community Impact Grants

The United Way of Metropolitan Dallas offers Community Impact Grants aimed at supporting organizations excelling in Education, Income, and Health sectors. With a competitive application process, grants range from $30,000 to $500,000 annually over a three-year cycle. Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations and align their programs with local community goals. This initiative promotes impactful solutions addressing pressing social issues within the Dallas area, underscoring the commitment to community well-being and progress.

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to clearly communicate each aspect of the Community Impact Grant process and, ultimately, to encourage organizations doing outstanding work in the areas of Education, Income, and Health to apply for funding. We have an open, competitive application process that identifies which organizations will have the greatest impact in helping us reach our community goals allowing UWMD to fund exceptional programs.
