About the foundation
United Way of Central Indiana (UWCI) is a regional philanthropic organization with a long history of mobilizing community resources to address social issues in the Indianapolis area. While traditionally associated with workplace giving and human services, UWCI has increasingly embraced a strategic grantmaking approach, including the Family Opportunity Grantmaking initiative. This program reflects a shift toward supporting systemic solutions that promote economic mobility and family stability, rather than merely funding direct services. The organization's ethos is rooted in collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and a commitment to equitable outcomes for all residents of Central Indiana.

Applicants should carefully review the specific eligibility criteria and focus areas of the Family Opportunity Grantmaking program, which typically prioritizes organizations with a proven track record in serving low-income families. It is advisable to demonstrate a clear theory of change, evidence-based strategies, and a plan for sustainability. Building relationships with UWCI staff and understanding their strategic priorities can be beneficial. Proposals should align with UWCI's broader goals of reducing poverty and increasing self-sufficiency, and include robust evaluation plans.
