Funding Opportunities for Nonprofit Agencies
Impact-Driven Funding Opportunities
When we imagine the possibilities, they are endless for a diverse, multifaceted region to work collaboratively for transformational change where everyone benefits.
The Community Impact Fund (CIF) is an annual fundraising vehicle from donors across our region. Funds that support the Community Impact Fund are distinct from donor designations funds— the CIF also provides additional opportunities to agencies across the region for the vitality for the communities they serve.
United Way’s Community Impact Fund supports grant-making opportunities, programs, and initiatives within our six-county region—Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Wayne, and Wyoming counties.
