United Way of Greater Atlanta will partner with OUT Georgia Business Alliance for grants to uplift and empower Georgia’s LGBTQ+ community.

The organizations are looking for community-driven projects that advance equity, inclusion, and economic opportunity across the state in four priority areas: housing and basic needs, career pathways, building wealth, and managing health.

The next application cycle for the OUT Georgia Impact Fund will open on July 1 and close at the end of the month.

Applications for the OUT Georgia Impact Fund will open on July 1 on the United Way of Greater Atlanta website.
