Call for Proposals 2020 – Community Fund
The 2020 Call for Proposals process launched on January 8th 2020 and closes on Wednesday February 19th at 1:00pm. The process is open to all local community service agencies who demonstrated results and who are aligned to our priority goals.
This year United Way East Ontario (Ottawa) will accept applications for one to three years in all ten of our priority goals:
*United Way East Ontario is currently consulting with its partners who are working in the youth homelessness sector in order to ensure that our priority goal description is up-to-date, and reflective of the work that we are doing together on this issue.
While we do not expect this consultation to significantly change the work we are supporting in Youth Homelessness, United Way will advise the community of any substantive changes that might be made, and provide opportunities to revise proposals and/or funding agreements that might be affected.
Key dates and details on the application process are below and in the 2020 United Way East Ontario (Ottawa) CFP Guidebook. The Guidebook also provides information on our assessment criteria, a glossary, FAQs and detailed instructions on all aspects of the proposal writing and submission process.
Agencies submit a full proposal by the deadline of February 19, 2020 at 1:00pm through the agency portal.
