United Way NWT has opened applications for a $240,000 community investment fund, the largest the charity says it has ever offered.
Last year’s fund was worth $195,000. In a press release, United Way said the generosity of donors in the NWT and beyond had allowed that sum to increase.
Registered non-profits in the territory have until December 2 apply for either a single-year grant of up to $7,500 or a multi-year grant of $15,000 per year for three years.
Funding will be released in March 2023.

The charity says the fund’s three focus areas are moving people out of poverty and meeting basic human needs; improving access to social and health-related support services; and improving access to early childhood learning and development and helping kids do well at school.
