Apply for Funding
Orrville Area United Way partners with local nonprofits that serve Dalton, Marshallville, and Orrville to strengthen our community across four impact areas:
- Healthy Community – Improving health and well-being for all
- Youth Opportunity – Helping young people realize their full potential
- Financial Security – Building financial stability and strength
- Community Resiliency – Addressing urgent needs today for a better tomorrow
While a large part of our identity is granting funds, to us, being a partner goes well beyond providing a check. We look for ways to promote our partners, experience the hands-on work being done through inSITE visits (Supporting Impact Through Engagement), and connect our partners to businesses, the community, and one another.
