Get Funded

United Way of Collier and the Keys is excited to announce that the 2025-2026 Community Investment Grant application is now live!  This grant opportunity is part of our commitment to building stronger, healthier, and more equitable communities across Collier and Monroe Counties.  

United Way of Collier and the Keys provides resources and funding to nonprofits whose strategies align with ours and invite 501(c)3 organizations that are outstanding in our funding areas to consider applying for a Community Investment Grant. In this new grant cycle, we’re focusing on four priority areas: Community Resiliency, Financial Security, Healthy Community, and Youth Opportunity.

These critical impact areas are designed to address the needs of households at or below the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) threshold and strengthen the community as a whole. As a grant applicant, we encourage you to highlight how your program tackles these areas through innovative, effective, and collaborative approaches. Our aim is to champion programs that are connective—bringing people and resources together, responsive—adapting to emerging needs, and scalable—expanding impact over time.

Key Dates for the FY25-26 Community Investment Grant Cycle:

• Application Deadline: Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at 11:59PM EST
• Applicants Notified of Funding Decisions: Friday, March 21, 2025
