*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.
