District Grants

District donations are separated from Sault Ste. Marie donations and are reserved for the District Grants program. The District Grants program is available to registered charities in district communities which offers programs or services that support United Way’s three strategic focus areas: Essential Services, Work Force Entry and Food Security. The program is administrated by a Volunteer Committee which consists of representatives from North Algoma, East Algoma, and the United Way Board of Directors.


Applications for District funding will be received between December 1st and January 31st. Applications cannot be processed outside of these windows.
