United Way accepting applications for community grants

United Way Blackhawk Region (UWBR) is now accepting Admission Eligibility applications for health and human service programs that are new to its investment process or those who have not received an investment in the last two grant cycles and have been in operation for a minimum of three years. Admission Eligibility forms should be submitted via email before 4 p.m. on November 13. Late Admission Eligibility forms will not be accepted.
