Community Impact Fund

Through its Community Impact Fund, United Way supports programs that address targeted Community Investment Strategies. Through these strategic initiatives and objectives, United Way utilizes the information provided in the ACTION for Healthy Communities assessment and other supporting information to effectuate positive change and increase the quality of life for San Luis Obispo County residents..

United Way supports programs of charitable organizations that have a current tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)(3) and that have held this status for at least three years. Organizations or associations that do not meet this criterion may seek collaborative partners to serve as the lead agency or fiscal agent for the joint application.

Funding decisions are made through a rigorous community volunteer process based on specific criteria that insures accountability and capacity for delivery, and encourages community problem-solving innovation. To volunteer as a community member on one of our Grant Review panels, e-mail United Way or call (805) 541-1234.
