Powering Progress Together: The Grants for Good Fund
Your generosity fuels lasting change. The Grants for Good Fund combines donations from people like you to award an annual grant to a nonprofit making a measurable difference in community health, education, or clean water access.
United for a Better Tomorrow
At United In One, our mission is to empower healthier, better-educated communities where everyone has access to clean water. We believe that local leaders and organizations are the most powerful agents of change. The Grants for Good Fund is how we put that belief into action.
Through the Grants for Good Fund, United In One donates to nonprofit partners driving results in our core priorities—education, health, and clean water. By pooling gifts and awarding one significant grant annually, we equip community-based organizations to deepen impact, strengthen equity, and deliver lasting change where it’s needed most.
