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.
The organization aims to identify and prioritize human needs in consultation with community partners, focus financial resources through a volunteer review process, and direct the time and talents of members, volunteers, and community resources toward those needs. United Way also works to measure results consistently and communicate them publicly.
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 or before December 14, 2026.
Upon receipt of this letter of intent, the organization will, in turn, receive notice of a mandatory meeting to receive the following:
· Community Investment Grant Application for Funding & Checklist
· Required Documentation Listing and Reporting Requirements
· Timetable for the United Way Review & Allocation Process
· Presentation Format
· Partnership Agreement
Completed applications must be returned to the United Way office no later than 3 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 22, 2027. Applications will not be accepted after that deadline. Applicants must ensure their submissions are complete and include all required documents.
The annual review and allocation process will take place from March 17 through April 22, 2027. The process will include site visits to review day-to-day operations, as well as interviews before a panel of community volunteers. All organizations will be notified of the outcome during the first week of June 2027.
Letters of intent must be received by Dec. 14, 2026, and may be mailed to United Way of Moore County at P.O. Box 207, Southern Pines, NC 28388, or delivered to its office at 227 W. Pennsylvania Ave. in Southern Pines.
Questions may be directed to United Way of Moore County at 910-692-2413.
