United Way of Randolph County Impact Grants are how we invest local dollars in our communities to address specific community-centered issues. Funding decisions are made through a competitive application process. Our Community Impact Grants are invested in highly performing nonprofit organizations that provide programs and services aligned with our three strategic priority areas of Education, Financial Stability and Health.

United Way donors volunteer to serve on a community impact panel. They read applications, make site visits to observe service delivery, and meet with agency representatives.
