United Way of Greater St. Louis has announced its 2025 Targeted Fund Application Cycle – Unite for Safe Communities- aimed at improving community safety by improving social determinant factors that bolster community safety, affecting where we live and where our children grow across the region. This $400,000+ investment underscores our commitment to creating a safer, healthier community for all residents.
As the community faces challenges because of varying types of violence, the 2025 targeted grants seek to identify and support innovative programs that address the results of violence such as mental distress and reduced quality of life, as well as those that seek to mitigate future occurrences.This grant provides funding to support nonprofits that use emergent or innovative approaches to address timely challenges facing neighbors across the region.
A description of both funding category types is listed below:An emergent approach addresses an identified community need using a promising practice or adapted method that is in development or early stages of implementation.An innovative approach addresses an identified community need using a new method, model or practice that is designed to advance service delivery for maximum impact to clients served.Targeted Fund awards are considered one-time grants with a one-year time limit for United Way investment.
Proposed programs should have existing sources of funding where United Way’s investment is leveraged to ensure sustainability beyond the Targeted Fund’s one-year grant time frame. Nonprofit organizations that provide violence prevention and trauma informed approaches are encouraged to apply. Key dates for Targeted Fund cycle:September 3 – Grant Cycle opens, and the application will be available.September 9 – Informational Webinar for any organization interested in learning more about the grant.
