About the program
Rice County Area United Way began offering microgrants in 2022. In 2023, Rebound Partners joined United Way to offer the grants. The grants range from $100 to $1,000 and serve the purpose of funding local groups facing urgent, community-based challenges or innovating new programs to reach underserved populations.
Eligibility: Microgrants should be used for projects that:
- Have limited access to funding and support
- Affect members in the Rice County community in our target areas of: Financial stability, Health and Education.
- Are urgently needed or innovating a new program
While your group does not need to be registered as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit organization in order to apply, your project should focus on a charitable/exempt purpose. Individuals with urgent needs are not eligible for this grant. (Instead, dial 2-1-1 for referrals to local services for individuals.)
Rice County Area United Way requests a final report from grantees following their project period with pictures we can use (have media waivers signed). The report form will be sent to grantees upon receiving a microgrant. For information on microgrants, contact Elizabeth Child, Executive Director, Rice County Area United Way, elizabeth@ricecountyunitedway.org or call 507-664-3510.
