United Way of Central Indiana to distribute $50,000 in special grants to Putnam County nonprofits

PUTNAM COUNTY – Putnam County nonprofits interested in receiving special grant funding from United Way of Central Indiana can apply April 17-30.  

United Way will award $50,000 in special funding during this grant cycle to nonprofits headquartered in Putnam County that are addressing basic needs, education and financial stability and that serve county residents who are in poverty or are considered ALICE, meaning they earn above the Federal Poverty Level but not enough to afford a basic household budget. (ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.)  

Applications will be reviewed by a committee of Putnam County stakeholders, who will select the grant recipients. Funds will be distributed in June.  

Interested organizations can learn more by contacting Chris Flegal, director of community relations, at chris.flegal@uwci.org. Apply online here.
