    About United Way of Marshall County

    A five-year statewide matching capital initiative supported by Lilly Endowment Inc. sits alongside the foundation’s local Marshall County grantmaking, giving United Way of Marshall County Inc a mix of long-term facility funding and flexible community support. Through the United Way R4 Grant, the organization funds 501(c)(3) nonprofits working in Marshall County on basic needs, essential services, close service gaps, and organizational capacity. Its recent awards show that this is not a single-issue funder: it has backed transportation and rent support, early childhood education, food access, youth services, disaster relief, senior services, women’s services, and addiction recovery. The largest recent awards include $70,000 to Link to Hope for transportation-rent and $56,719 to Enfocus LLC for early childhood education. Other substantial local awards include $55,242 to Bread of Life Food Pantry for community services and $53,362 to Boys and Girls Club of Marshall County for youth services. The pattern suggests a funder working across both immediate household needs and community infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on Marshall County organizations and Indiana-based service providers.

    What United Way of Marshall County Funds

    In early childhood education, the foundation gave $56,719 to Enfocus LLC for early childhood ed., and the active capital initiative also names childcare and early childhood education facilities as a priority. Food access is another clear thread: it awarded $55,242 to Bread of Life Food Pantry for community services and $6,000 to Culver Food Pantry for food assistance. Youth programming appears in several places, including $53,362 to Boys and Girls Club of Marshall County for youth services and $8,943 to Culver Boys and Girls Club for after school program. It also supported housing and stability needs through $70,000 to Link to Hope for transportation-rent and $5,528 to David's Courage for addiction recovery, both of which fit the foundation’s basic-needs orientation.

    How United Way of Marshall County Gives

    Typical awards cluster around a middle range, with p25 at $7,500, a median of $15,000, and p75 at $31,000. The recent grant list shows both one-time support and repeat funding: Link to Hope and Enfocus LLC each received multiple awards across 2023 and 2024, and Boys and Girls Club of Marshall County also appears more than once. The foundation operates as a United Way, using grantmaking plus fundraising campaigns to support local nonprofits. It offers flexible R4 Grant support for operational, program, or collaborative work, and it also administers matching capital programs with unsolicited applications accepted for the statewide initiative.

    Frequently Asked Questions About United Way of Marshall County

    What kinds of organizations does United Way of Marshall County Inc support?

    Its local R4 Grant is for 501(c)(3) nonprofits working in Marshall County on basic needs and essential services, with room for operational, program, or collaborative support. The active funding priorities also include youth opportunity and financial security, while recent awards show support for food access, early childhood education, housing stability, disaster relief, and senior services.

    What is the typical grant size?

    Recent grants cluster around a median of $15,000, with p25 at $7,500 and p75 at $31,000. That range suggests many awards are relatively modest, while a smaller number reach into the tens of thousands.

    Does the foundation fund outside Marshall County?

    Most giving is local and 88% of recent grants went to recipients in Indiana. The recent recipient list is entirely U.S.-based, with most awards going to Marshall County communities and other Indiana cities such as South Bend, Culver, Warsaw, Fort Wayne, and Garrett.

    Are there recurring grants or mostly one-time awards?

    Some recipients appear more than once in the recent grant list. Link to Hope received awards in 2023 and 2024, Enfocus LLC was funded in both years, and Boys and Girls Club of Marshall County also appears multiple times. That points to ongoing relationships rather than only one-off grants.

    Can organizations apply for capital grants?
