North Liberty Joins United Social Service Grant Application
The City of North Liberty grants funding to a variety of social service agencies through a competitive grant process each year. And now the City will join the United Way of Johnson and Washington County’s joint funding application for future years. The joint application allows agencies to apply for funding through United Way, Johnson County, and the cities of Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty in a single place.
To apply, agencies should log into the United Way’s grant portal, eCImpact, and submit an application by the Oct. 15, 2024, deadline. Awards will be made on a two-year cycle. Questions about North Liberty’s grants should be addressed to Tracey Mulcahey at (319) 626-5712 or [email protected].
