Apply for Funding

We provide financial support to nonprofits in two ways:

• Through our annual workplace campaign, we offer contributors the opportunity to direct their gift to the nonprofit organizations of their choice.
• Through our Bay Area Community Fund, our experienced staff works side by side with community leaders and volunteers to research community needs and invest in top-performing local programs. To be eligible for a United Way Bay Area Community Fund grant, your organization/program must be aligned with our focus areas and serve the 7-county Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Solano Counties).
