Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, stable life—but too often, barriers stand in the way. Through strong local partnerships, strategic grantmaking, and collaborative leadership, United Way works to remove those barriers and expand access to care, nourishment, safety, and essential services across our region. By investing in trusted local partners, advancing health equity efforts, strengthening disaster preparedness and long-term recovery, and supporting nonprofit capacity, we’re building a healthier, more resilient South Central Indiana for every neighbor.
Grants for mental & physical health
Grants for physical and mental health programs ensure communities have access to essential care, supporting overall well-being, reducing long-term costs, and promoting healthier, more resilient populations.
Grants for Hunger Relief Programs
Hunger relief programs like food pantries and meal services help ensure that individuals and families facing food insecurity have reliable access to nutritious meals—because healthy food is essential to physical and mental well-being.
Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD)
Community Organizations Active in Disaster for Monroe County (MoCOAD) helps people rebuild after a community disaster. The MoCOAD network is composed of representatives from business, faith groups, local government, and non-profit agencies. MoCOAD helps our community mitigate, prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from large-scale disasters.
