Special to IFN

The United Way of Iredell County Endowment Committee is seeking proposals that build up the Iredell County community in new ways. In particular, the committee is looking for proposals which will focus on one or more of the following areas:

♦ Increase the ability of families to access attainable and stable housing in Iredell County.
♦ Help families to access and afford high quality early childhood education services.
♦ Improve mental health, reduce substance use and prevent suicide.

All proposals must be submitted electronically through our online application portal. To set-up an online application profile go to https://bit.ly/UWICApplications. Click on the link and create a profile that will follow you on your future application journey. Once in the system open applications will appear under the “apply” tab. Existing users should utilize their log-in to access the open application. Projects already funded by United Way of Iredell County will not be considered. No building or infrastructure proposals will be considered, unless directly related to new services.

Proposals should be above $25,000 in value and be written by a nonprofit agency. Any proposals which are collaborative in nature are highly encouraged and will be considered strongly. Continued reporting will be required to United Way of Iredell County. Please keep these parameters in mind when planning your project.

All proposals are due no later than 5 p.m. on September 15, 2025. Funds will be awarded in early December.
