About Town of Palm Beach United Way
Town of Palm Beach United Way Inc. concentrates its giving on operating support for local nonprofit agencies working in education, health, and financial stability across Palm Beach County.

The foundation’s stated purpose is to create long-lasting and measurable changes that improve lives and build strong communities by ensuring access to the building blocks of a good quality of life. Its active grant programs also include partner-agency admissions, which structure eligibility for community investments and impact grants in Palm Beach County. Across the recent grant list, the funding pattern points to annual support for established nonprofits delivering day-to-day services, with repeated awards to the same organizations over multiple years.

Financial stability appears as its own funding track as well, including Income (Financial Stability) Grants aimed at workforce development, income supports, and economic mobility.
