Each year, United Way of Moore County seeks to attract the highest-quality service providers as potential grant recipients to ensure the most effective pool of programs and services for the community, and is now beginning the process of considering partners.
Their goals:
· To identify and prioritize the community’s most critical human needs in consultation with community partners.
· To focus United Way financial resources, through a citizen’s volunteer review process, to maximize the meeting of those needs.
· To focus the time and talents of its members, volunteers, and community resources on those needs.
· To measure results consistently and to communicate them publicly on a regular basis.
In order to be considered for funding, organizations interested in applying for United Way of Moore County grants must be 501(c)(3) certified and submit a letter of intent to apply by December 15. Upon receipt of this letter of intent, the organization will, in turn, receive notice of a mandatory meeting to receive the following:
· Application for Funding & Checklist

Completed applications must be returned to the United Way office no later than 3 p.m. on Monday, February 23.

The annual review and allocations process will take place from March 18 through April 21, 2026. This process will include a site visit to review day-to-day operations. All organizations will be notified of the outcome no later than June 5, 2026.
