The United Way of Westchester and Putnam Community Impact Fund supports local nonprofits that serve underprivileged, marginalized, or ALICE populations in Westchester or Putnam Counties. ALICE refers to those who are employed but live paycheck-to-paycheck. This grant program aligns with the foundation's mission to improve education, financial stability, and health within these communities. The grants are intended to provide financial assistance to organizations directly addressing these critical needs. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are underprivileged, marginalized, and ALICE populations within Westchester and Putnam Counties. The impact goals are to support programs that enhance education, promote financial stability, or improve health outcomes for these groups. The funding can also be used to support the operational expenses of local nonprofits whose core mission is aligned with these areas of focus, thereby strengthening the infrastructure of organizations serving these vulnerable populations. The priorities and focuses of the fund are clearly defined: supporting programs in education, financial stability, or health, or providing operational support to nonprofits whose missions are aligned with these three pillars. This dual approach allows the United Way to either directly fund impactful programs or bolster the organizational capacity of groups already doing vital work. The grants range from $5,000 to $10,000, indicating a focus on providing substantial, yet accessible, support to local initiatives. While specific expected outcomes and measurable results are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the program's strategic priorities suggest that successful outcomes would include improved educational attainment, increased financial resilience, and better health indicators among the target populations. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by supporting both direct service programs and the operational stability of aligned nonprofits, they can create a more robust and effective ecosystem of support for the underprivileged, marginalized, and ALICE communities in Westchester and Putnam Counties. More detailed reporting requirements for grant recipients would likely outline the specific metrics to be tracked.
