United Way of the Brazos Valley announces Community Impact Grant recipients

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - The United Way of the Brazos Valley announced 28 Community Impact Grant recipients Thursday.

The United Way of the Brazos Valley will annually invest $350,000 in these organizations over the next two years.

All the organizations serve the Brazos Valley in either health, education or financial stability.

“It’s a very competitive process to become one of our Community Impact grant partners,” said Kat Gammon, the United Way of the Brazos Valley Vice President of Community Impact. “We spent the entire spring reviewing applications going out and visiting prospective partners and of course the year before raising all the money to be able to grant this money out so it’s just a lot of moving parts coming together to make the Brazos Valley stronger.”

Gammon says the United Way had more than 45 organizations begin the application process. Among the 28 recipients, are six new organizations the United Way is working with.

“We have six new nonprofits that are joining our Community Impact nonprofits this year and we are excited to have some new voices and new perspectives as we serve our community,” Gammon said.

“Our area takes pride in giving back to the community, and these grants will help folks within these organizations do what they do best,” said Max Crawford, Campaign Cabinet Chair and board member. “We are confident these resources will stay here in the Brazos Valley and look forward to continued efforts to make this place we love even better in the future.”
