At this time, we are not accepting applications for the COVID-19 Community Response Fund. Please check back in the coming weeks and months for additional opportunities for COVID-response funding.
Average grant size is likely between $10,000 and $20,000, but will vary (and could be lower) based on number of applications, emerging needs, and donations to the Fund. Applications will be reviewed and grants awarded on a rolling basis and can be submitted at any time. This is a competitive grant process, and submitting an application in no way guarantees funding.
There are multiple United Ways in Utah participating in the Fund, and this application process only pertains to UWSL’s service area which includes Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele Counties. Please contact other United Ways directly to learn about their process for Fund grants in their service areas.
