PACT United GRANTS
United Way of Acadiana has opened applications for its 2022-2023 PACT United Grants, due on March 20, 2023.
About PACT United Grants
Started in 2008, PACT United is a competitive, community-wide initiative focused on supporting community partnerships that are aligned with United Way of Acadiana’s three focus areas of education, earnings, and essentials. By focusing on supporting these needs, United Way, and their PACT partners, are collectively helping more children graduate from high school, building financial stability in hard-working families, and ensuring that community members have their basic needs met.
PACT United grants are focused on supporting organizations who are positively impacting our community. We are excited to invest in these organizations and to support their programs through enrichment opportunities, volunteer mobilization, and connections that will lay the foundation for future community growth.
But we know the work isn’t done. Together, we can make great things happen. LIVE UNITED.
