United Way St. Croix and Red Cedar Valleys award Community Impact Grants to local nonprofits


Dunn and Pepin Counties, WI – United Way St. Croix and Red Cedar Valleys (UW Valleys) is proud to  announce the approval of $50,000 in Community Impact Grants to local nonprofits in Dunn and Pepin  counties. These grants, which will be disbursed by the end of the year, will provide crucial support to  organizations focused on improving the lives of area ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained,  Employed) families.  


The Community Impact Grants are part of UW Valleys’ ongoing commitment to advancing health,  education, and financial stability within local communities. ALICE families, who are working but  struggling to make ends meet, will directly benefit from these funds through nonprofit partners,  which are aimed at providing long-term solutions in critical areas of need.  


“The ALICE population is one of the most vulnerable groups in our communities,” said Steve McCarthy,  Executive Director of UW Valleys. “We’re excited to partner with local organizations to help ensure  that these families have access to the resources they need to thrive. These grants will make a  significant impact on the well-being of individuals and families in Dunn and Pepin counties.”  


“We are so grateful that your organization will help us” said a director of one of the grant recipients.  “What a boost to our morale around here. Sometimes when we meet with challenges our greater  community rises up to help. That's what this feels like. I will definitely share the good news with the  community repeatedly.”  


These Community Impact Grants are part of UW Valleys’ mission to fight for the health, education and  financial stability of all people in Western Wisconsin. By supporting local nonprofits that are directly  addressing community needs, UW Valleys aims to foster a stronger, more equitable region.  


UW Valleys is committed to ensuring that all individuals and families, regardless of their economic  status, have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed.
