Becoming a United Way of King County Grantee
United Way of King County typically solicits applications in the fall for funding for the fiscal year beginning in July. Occasionally, special solicitations are announced at other times of year. The funding priorities are spelled out in the United Way of King County Impact Plan, and the Strategy and Investment Plans for each impact area. Copies of these plans are on our website (and in e-CImpact for current grantees). Outcomes are open competitively when we are seeking to expand the breadth of applicants beyond those grantees currently funded in those specific outcomes. This allows us to make decisions about funding to address disparities in need and funding. These disparities could be based on demographic factors or geographic factors.
