United Way of the Greater Capital Region - Annual Investment Process

Each year, United Way of the Greater Capital Region awards grants to community programs through UWGCR's Community Care Fund. These investments are made strategically by panels of United Way volunteers who represent all facets of our community. Funds are invested in programs and partnerships that address identified community needs.
