About
Transformation Grants - The Community Transformation Strategy is envisioned as a collective impact model with a long-term focus on transforming communities. United Way is focusing on breaking the cycle of childhood poverty by investing in the highest need communities across our region to improve educational outcomes for young people, stabilize the families in which they live, and build strong and connected communities around them. (See Schedule O for more information) United Way has selected one collaborative to invest in through the Community Transformation strategy. The community collaborative consists of a number of organizations and/or groups from different sectors that are working together in alignment with UWCW's new strategic goals of successful kids, stable families and connected communities. UWCW is engaging with the collaborative as a partner in a planning process to co-create a business and work plan that achieves the results outlined by the collaborative to create impact in their community. Safety Net Grants - The Safety Net funding strategy is designed to provide critical aid for our most vulnerable families through short-term, non-competitive investments in supportive programs that provide housing, food, heat, utilities and other essential needs for individuals that, due to an unforeseen personal crisis, disaster or emergency in their lives, would benefit from additional assistance. Safety Net partnerships are one-year in length and the grant amount varies by organization.The Oregon Census Equity Funders Committee of Oregon (CEFCO) is a collaborative of philanthropic organizations working to reduce the undercount in the 2020 census by partnering with public agencies to raise funds and implement an equitable Hard to Count Campaign, #WeCountOregon, through a pooled and aligned Oregon Census Equity Fund (OCEF). United Way of the Columbia Willamette is the fiscal agent and backbone of the OCEF.The Albina Rockwood Promise Neighborhood Initiative (ARPNI) is a collaborative of seven non-profit organizations working to empower students and families of color to achieve academic and economic success. In partnership with two school districts, the ARPNI provides culturally specific and responsive services to students and families from early childhood through college/career.
