    About United Way of Westchester and Putnam

    United Way of Westchester and Putnam Inc. channels a large share of its grantmaking into Community Impact awards, with recent recipients ranging from Majestic House of Miracles in Wyandanch to World of Giving in Newburgh and Olivet Gospel Church in New York City. The pattern points to broad local support for nonprofits working on education, financial stability, health, and related community needs across Westchester and Putnam counties. The foundation’s recent grants also include sizable awards to organizations in Yonkers, White Plains, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, and other nearby communities, showing a county-centered approach that reaches a mix of faith-based groups, human services providers, and community organizations. Its grantmaking is closely tied to place-based service delivery, and the recent grant list shows repeated support for organizations that work directly with residents facing basic-needs pressures or community instability. With annual grants of more than $10 million and a local scope of giving, the foundation appears to use a mix of competitive community awards and program-specific funding to support organizations serving underprivileged, marginalized, or ALICE populations.

    What United Way of Westchester and Putnam Funds

    Education appears in both scholarship support and community grants. The foundation administers Ruth Taylor Scholarships and African-American Men of Westchester Scholarships, and it also awarded $216,273 to School 21 Pta in Yonkers through Community Impact funding. Financial stability is another clear thread: Youth Community Outreach Program (YCOP) in Mount Vernon received $210,700, and We Prosper Family Organization in Yonkers received $118,396, both through Community Impact grants. Health and basic-needs work show up in support for organizations such as Feeding Westchester in Elmsford, which received $171,987, and the Salvation Army of Greater New York in New York, which received $121,592. The grantmaking also includes nonprofit support and capacity building through invitation-based capacity-building grants for Westchester and Putnam-based nonprofits that serve other nonprofits.

    How United Way of Westchester and Putnam Gives

    Typical grant size falls at a p25 of $10,464, a median of $26,647, and a p75 of $70,272. The recent grant list shows much larger Community Impact awards alongside smaller program-specific grants, suggesting a spread from modest awards to substantial operating or program support. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a DAF, and its active programs include both unsolicited and invitation-only opportunities. Community Impact grants are described as competitive and typically announced in the spring, while capacity-building grants are by invitation only. Several programs recur across multiple years, including Community Impact, EFSP, and disaster-recovery grants, indicating repeated annual or phased funding rather than a one-time approach.
