Allocations (Grantmaking)
Grant Application Process & Documents
United Way Monterey County works toward its mission and vision through granting funds to Certified Member Agencies, which have an ongoing relationship with United Way. Certified Member Agencies are eligible to apply for funding each year, but are not guaranteed funding.
