The Community Impact Grant application is a competitive process that occurs every two years. Over 45 organizations began the application process in January, resulting in 28 funded partners. Applications are reviewed by teams of community volunteers, who then make funding recommendations to the United Way of the Brazos Valley Board.
“We are so grateful to all of our community volunteers who acted as grant reviewers during this process,” Kat Gammon, Vice President Community Impact said. “Our work is community driven and wouldn’t have been possible without their help.”
These grants are funded through annual workplace campaigns, sponsorships and giving events throughout the year. Anyone interested in contributing to Community Impact Grant funds can support United Way of the Brazos Valley through community campaigns.
