About United Way of Greater Lafayette
United Way of Greater Lafayette Inc. uses campaign-raised dollars to support a tightly linked set of local partner agencies in Greater Lafayette, with funding flowing year after year to organizations working on healthy community, youth opportunity, financial security, and community resiliency. The largest recent awards in the grant list go to Right Steps Child Development, Bauer Family Resources, and Lthc Homeless Services, each appearing across multiple years, which signals a stable partner model rather than one-off project funding. Other recurring recipients include Willowstone Family Services Inc, Lyn Treece Boys & Girls Club, the Mental Health Association, Wabash Center, Tippecanoe Senior Center, YWCA, and Food Finders Food Bank. The foundation’s work also includes a named equity-oriented fund, the Sarah Rounds Price Equity Fund, alongside broader allocations and community response support. Its stated focus areas cover education, income and financial stability, health, basic needs, housing and stability, mental health, substance use disorder, volunteer tax preparation, and equity. The pattern is place-based and operational: resources are directed to organizations serving the Greater Lafayette area and aligned with United Way’s community impact priorities.

Basic needs also appear in the allocation list through $134,088 to Food Finders Food Bank in 2025, with additional grants in 2023 and 2024. These examples sit within United Way’s named priority areas of healthy community, youth opportunity, financial security, and community resiliency.

The recent grant list shows repeated awards to the same local partners across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to ongoing allocations rather than isolated awards. The foundation uses funded-partner and campaign-allocation structures, and it also manages designated or donor-directed funding such as the Sarah Rounds Price Equity Fund. For several active programs, the site does not show an unsolicited application path; the Community Response Fund is the exception listed as accepting unsolicited requests.
