More People, Greater Impact.
As a nonprofit, you’re a central partner of United Way in working for community change. We support nonprofits’ work with resources including volunteers, advocacy and—where strategies align—funding.
Funding Announcements
Community Healer Participatory Grant
The King County Local Advisory Team and United Way of King County are now accepting applications for organizations to participate in upcoming Community Healer participatory funding cohorts. Members of each cohort will engage in learning, build connections with each other, and determining how to invest $1million of Washington State Department of Commerce Community Reinvestment Project (CRP) funding. Organizations in each cohort are eligible to receive a grant from the funds, plus each organization will receive a stipend of $3,100 for participation. Applications are due January 17th.
Find Volunteers
We matched thousands of people with nonprofits last year. And we want to do that for you too. Want to list your volunteer opportunities and find volunteers committed to your cause? Get started here.
Volunteers use our database to search for opportunities that match their interests and availability. We also auto post your volunteer listings to Serve Washington’s Get Connected, AARP’s Create the Good, and Points of Light—which means you get greater reach! Interested organizations can also register their projects for MLK Day of Service.
Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Legacy
While we make it our business to fight for systemic change year-round, each year in January, United Way coordinates a countywide volunteer event honoring the life and legacy of Dr. King, sharing in his vision for equity and justice.
Want to list your organization’s MLK Day volunteer project(s) with us? Or find a group of volunteers for the day? You’ve come to the right place.
