United Way of San Luis Obispo County is focused on education, income and health, the building blocks for a good quality of life.
“United Way is advancing the common good by drawing attention to root causes and emphasizing prevention and self-responsibility,” said Rick London, chief executive officer of United Way of San Luis Obispo County.
Eligible programs must align with one of United Way’s impact areas (education, income or health), as well as explain which impact strategy they utilize to improve lives and inspire lasting change (remediation, capacity building or structural change). Grant amounts will be awarded up to $5,000 per program, with awards to be announced in
June, and funding will begin in July.
Community volunteers review grant applications through a rigorous process based on specific criteria ensuring each agency’s accountability and capacity for delivering program outcomes.
