How Tri-County United Way Invests in Our Community
At Tri-County United Way, we focus on three key areas essential for a thriving community: Education, Health, and Financial Stability. Our investment strategy ensures that resources are directed toward local programs that address community needs, deliver measurable results, and use funds responsibly.
Investment Grants
We support Warren, Washington, and Northern Saratoga Counties by partnering with non-profit organizations that work collaboratively to create lasting and positive change for all. Through these partnerships, we help provide comprehensive and coordinated services that make a meaningful impact.
Our Funding Process
Each year, we award grants through a competitive proposal process to high-performing non-profit organizations addressing our region’s most urgent needs. All applications are evaluated by a community-led review committee, where volunteers assess programs and initiatives that drive sustainable results.
