Batavia United Way says the grants will help local organizations provide essential services that help individuals and families overcome challenges, build stability, and improve quality of life.

"One of the greatest strengths of Batavia United Way is our ability to bring people together to create meaningful community impact," said Kathy Evangelista, Executive Director of Batavia United Way. "These grants represent the generosity of our donors, the dedication of our volunteers, and the incredible work of our nonprofit partners. Together, we are investing in programs that strengthen our community and improve lives every day."

Batavia United Way hosted a Community Impact Grant Reception on July 1 at the Peg Bond Center, where representatives from funded organizations gathered to network, celebrate their shared mission, and receive the first installment of their grant awards.

The goal of the Community Impact Grants is to create a network of support that addresses some of the community's greatest needs and ensure resources are directed where they can make the greatest impact.
