Middlesex United Way’s Women United invites local nonprofits to apply for grant funding to support programs that strengthen women and children across our 15-town service area. Grants focus on three priority areas:
- Childhood & Youth Development – ensuring children and parents have resources for healthy growth.
- Empowering Women – providing women with the support they need to make healthy life choices.
- Financial Stability – helping women of all ages gain education and resources to achieve independence.
The 2026-2027 grant cycle will open on October 9, 2026 and close on December 4, 2026. Awards typically range from $100 to $1,000 and are reviewed by the Women United volunteers in December, with recipients announced shortly after.
To apply: please download and complete the grant application (see below) and email it, along with all required attachments to Brian Thompson, our Director of Community Impact: Brian.Thompson@middlesexunitedway.org with the subject line: Women United Grant
A virtual informational session is scheduled for October 29, 2026 at 11:00am to provide additional insight and to give interested applicants an opportunity to ask questions. Specific details will be shared here once finalized.
Please note: Eligible organizations must be IRS tax-exempt and serve residents in Middlesex United Way’s service area. Organizations currently receiving Community Impact Grant funding are not eligible.
