UWLC unites the caring power of donors & community partners to bring about both immediate & lasting change in the lives of people in our community.
United Way of Loudon County Inc. channels community donations into local nonprofit partners serving Loudon County, with annual grantmaking organized around education, financial stability, health, basic needs, and emergency services. The foundation’s Community Care Fund and Community Partners grants both point to the same operating model: pooled local dollars are distributed to agencies that provide direct services and crisis response for residents, families, and service-seekers in the county. Recent grants show that the funder backs a mix of human services, health-related access, and emergency support. Good Samaritan Center of Loudon County received $31,500 in 2023, the largest listed award, followed by $20,000 to Loudon County Rescue Squad. Other grants went to Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Area, East Tennessee Kidney Foundation, Helen Ross McNabb Center Inc, and Casa of the Ninth Judicial District, indicating support for youth, health, behavioral health, and advocacy-related services. The foundation’s grant program also includes project-specific operating support through its annual Community Partners application, which is open to local nonprofit agencies and programs in Loudon County.
Education appears in multiple grant purposes, including $17,500 to Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Area for youth programming and $13,500 to Little Tennessee Valley Educational for its work in Loudon County. The foundation also supports education and life-skills-oriented services through its Community Partners program. Health and healthcare access are another clear theme. In 2023, East Tennessee Kidney Foundation received $9,500, while Helen Ross Mcnabb Center Inc also received $9,500, showing support for health-related services and behavioral health needs. Basic needs and emergency services are part of the same grant pattern. Good Samaritan Center of Loudon County received $31,500, and Loudon County Rescue Squad received $20,000, alongside grants to Greenback Emergency Rescue Squad Inc and Tellico Village Volunteer Fire Dept. The program descriptions also tie funding to financial stability and community equity.
Typical awards cluster in the low five figures: the grant-size distribution is $8,375 at the 25th percentile, $9,500 at the median, and $13,500 at the 75th percentile. The 2023 list includes both larger anchor grants and a dense middle band of awards near the median. This is recurring, program-based grantmaking rather than one-off support. The foundation runs annual Community Care Fund and Community Partners applications, and the active program materials show unsolicited applications are accepted. The structure is a public charity, not an individual-giving or program-related-investment funder.
