United Way of the Columbia-Willamette funds projects that focus on education, income and health. Funded programs provide support for individuals and families with immediate needs while establishing a foundation for long-term change.

Community Investment grants provide three-year funding, and awards range from $100,000 to $200,000 each year. Project Innovation grants offer one-time funding of ]$20,000 to $40,000 to projects that focus on innovative approaches to systems change.
