Contingency Fund
United Way of Central Indiana’s (UWCI) Contingency Fund supports accredited partners in responding to unexpected emergencies and unavoidable revenue shortfalls within the organization’s Fiscal Year.
With changes in government funding, shifting philanthropic priorities, and competition from the for-profit sector, many organizations find themselves in precarious and unpredictable financial situations. This fund enables UWCI to provide up to $50,000 on a first-come, first-serve rolling basis to reduce financial hardship and sustain critical services of both our partners and the community at-large.
Please note:
Participation in this fund is limited to accredited partners of United Way of Central Indiana
Once the Capacity Fund budget is depleted, United Way of Central Indiana will not be able to support additional requests until the beginning of our next Fiscal Year (July 1)
The 2025–2026 cycle of the Contingency Fund is currently limited to organizations participating in the Provisional Accreditation process. If any funds remain upon the completion of the process, we will reassess funding priorities and eligibility criteria in early 2026.
