United Way of South Central Indiana Opens 2026 Impact Grants Application | United Way of South Central Indiana United Way of South Central Indiana Opens 2026 Impact Grants Application Funding Available for Nonprofits Serving Brown, Greene, Lawrence, Monroe, Orange, and Owen Counties September 16, 2025, Bloomington, Ind.
– United Way of South Central Indiana (UWSCI) has opened applications for its 2026 Impact Grant Cycle, making approximately $250,000 available to nonprofit organizations that advance long-term stability and opportunity for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families and individuals.
In Indiana, ALICE households earn above the federal poverty level but still struggle to afford essentials such as housing, food, childcare, healthcare, and transportation. UWSCI will award grants of up to $25,000 to nonprofits whose programs align with its three focus areas: Financial Security – building economic mobility and lasting financial stability.
Healthy Community – reducing food insecurity, expanding access to healthcare, and strengthening overall well-being. Youth Opportunity – preparing children and young adults for lifelong success through education, mentorship, and skill-building.
“The challenges faced by ALICE families are deeply interconnected—financial insecurity, health challenges, and barriers to opportunity often overlap,” said Randy Rogers, President and CEO at United Way of South Central Indiana. “Through these grants, we are partnering with nonprofits to disrupt that cycle of instability and create pathways toward brighter futures for families across our region.
” The Impact Grants are part of UWSCI’s broader strategy to advance stability and opportunity for ALICE families. Alongside grantmaking, UWSCI directly invests in programs such as the Financial Stability Alliance, Free Community Tax Service, Bank On Bloomington, Truancy Case Management, youth mentoring, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and more.
Together, these initiatives and partnerships work in tandem to strengthen financial security, improve health outcomes, and expand opportunities for young people—ultimately connecting more families to possibility.
To be eligible, organizations must serve at least one of UWSCI’s six counties—Brown, Greene, Lawrence, Monroe, Orange, or Owen—be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (or fiscally sponsored by one) and have a mission that supports ALICE families and individuals. Applications will be accepted through October 17, 2025, with funded projects beginning in January 2026.
Full details—including eligibility, timeline, and review rubric—are available at unitedwaysci. org/grantportal . United Way will host an informational presentation on Friday, September 19, from 12:00–1:30 PM at the United Way office (431 S.
College Ave. , Bloomington, IN 47403) to review application instructions and answer questions about the process. Participants may attend in person or join virtually.
In addition, virtual office hours will be offered for follow-up questions. For details, contact Carmen Chamorro, Community Impact Manager, at carmen@unitedwaysci. org or (812) 334-8370 x11.

NSF has $8.8 billion appropriated and is holding roughly $1 billion of it in a central account earmarked for a White House initiative called Grand Research Challenges. Core programs cannot reach the money. Roughly 400 peer-reviewed, recommended proposals are sitting at the Office of Award Management. Here is what the mechanism actually is, why it is different from the terminations story, and how to plan a submission calendar around it.
