United Way of Cattaraugus & Allegany Counties mobilizes the caring power of our community to help our neighbors thrive.
United Way of Cattaraugus & Allegany Counties Inc. centers its grantmaking on two counties and a recurring set of human-service priorities: health, education, income stability, and community resiliency. The largest recent award in the record was $30,500 to Allegany Senior Foundation in Belmont, a signal that older-adult support is part of its local portfolio. In the same pattern of place-based funding, Genesis House in Olean received $25,500 in 2023, $24,000 in 2024, and $12,900 in 2025, showing repeated support across multiple years rather than one-time-only funding. The foundation also funded Trinity Christian Daycare in Wellsville for $20,000 and Salvation Army in Wellsville for $15,500, alongside grants to organizations serving food access, youth, health, and family well-being. Its recent awards include both larger community grants and smaller local awards, with amounts ranging from modest microgrants to multi-year commitments across Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. The pattern points to a community-based funder that backs nonprofit service providers working on everyday needs for residents in the region.
Health and human services are a core lane of support. The foundation gave $12,500 to American Red Cross in Olean and $7,000 to HomeCare & Hospice in Olean, both tied to community health and care needs. Food access is also present in the record, including $7,500 to Olean Food Pantry in Olean. Youth-serving organizations appear as well: Trinity Christian Daycare in Wellsville received $20,000, while Fillmore Powerhouse Youth Cen in Fillmore received $7,000 for youth-related work. Financial stability and family support show up through grants to Allegany County MHA in Belmont and Allegany Co Asc for the Blind in Wellsville, both at $9,500, reflecting the foundation’s interest in local service organizations that support household well-being.
Typical awards cluster in the low five figures: p25 is $7,500, median is $9,500, and p75 is $12,900. The recent record shows repeated support to some organizations over multiple years, including Genesis House, St Bonaventure University, Special Olympics New York, Saving Grace Outreach, and HomeCare & Hospice. That pattern suggests continuing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation operates as a community United Way, with annual competitive grant cycles and several named local programs. It accepts unsolicited applications in multiple grant programs, including the annual community grants and the Bill & Cathy Fraser Grant Program.
