    About United Way of Fairfield County

    United Way of Fairfield County directs local donor dollars toward Fairfield County programs that address basic needs, education, health, financial stability, and community services. The recent grant list shows a strong emphasis on direct service partnerships, with sizable support going to Fairfield Center for Disabilities for adult programs and to Information and Referral for 2-1-1 services. Its funding also reaches shelter, food, childcare, and youth-serving organizations, reflecting a practical portfolio centered on community support systems. The foundation’s role is not limited to one service line. It funds emergency shelter through Lighthouse, adult day care through the Salvation Army, and youth mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters. It also backs the local Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library effort, where it covers mailing costs so children birth through age five receive free books each month. That mix of agency support and program sponsorship shows a funder focused on keeping core community services operating in Fairfield County. Recent awards cluster around established local providers, including Lutheran Social Services and Maywood Mission, both of which received support across consecutive years.

    What United Way of Fairfield County Funds

    Basic needs and housing-related services are a clear theme in the grant list. United Way of Fairfield County gave $70,000 in 2025 and $67,000 in 2024 to Lutheran Social Services for emergency shelter and food pantry work, and it also awarded $60,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Lighthouse for emergency protection shelter. Youth and family supports appear in several forms. The foundation gave $60,000 in 2025 to Maywood Mission for childcare, while Harcum House received $40,000 in 2025 for children/trauma-informed services. In education-related work, it funded Pickerington Schoolswise with $53,500 in both 2024 and 2025 for after-school programming. Health and behavioral support is another recurring area. New Horizons received $52,000 in 2025 for suicide prevention, and the Salvation Army received $60,000 in 2025 for adult day care services.

    How United Way of Fairfield County Gives

    Typical awards fall in a fairly tight range: p25 is $22,500, the median is $53,500, and p75 is $60,000. The recent grant list also shows repeat support across multiple years for several recipients, including Lutheran Social Services, Lighthouse, Maywood Mission, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Pickerington Schoolswise, and the Salvation Army. That points to ongoing operating-style support rather than isolated one-time gifts. The foundation’s active programs include both partner-agency funding and annual Community Impact grant cycles through Impact Councils. One program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, has a fixed listed grant size of $30 and accepts unsolicited applications.
