Grant Applications Now Open

2026 Impact Grant Applications Now Open!

United Way of South Central Indiana (UWSCI) is now accepting applications for our 2026 Impact Grants. Funding will be directed to nonprofit organizations that advance long-term stability and opportunity for ALICE households—families and individuals who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed. 

In Indiana, ALICE families earn above the federal poverty level but still struggle to afford basic necessities such as housing, food, childcare, healthcare, and transportation (Learn more about ALICE). 

This grant opportunity reflects UWSCI’s ongoing commitment to supporting ALICE families. Future funding will give agencies additional ways to partner with us and build lasting change in our communities.

Through this 2026 Impact Grant process, we are investing in programs that align with our three strategic focus areas:

Financial Security: Helping families build lasting economic stability through financial literacy, debt reduction, resource education, and workforce-linked services.

Healthy Community: Reducing food insecurity, expanding access to healthcare and behavioral health supports, and strengthening family and community health.

Youth Opportunity: Creating pathways for children and youth, from birth through young adulthood, to grow up healthy, supported, and prepared for the future.

Nonprofit organizations serving Brown, Greene, Lawrence, Monroe, Orange, and Owen counties are eligible to apply for funding requests of up to $25,000.
