The online grant application will be available from May 23, 2023 to the submission deadline of June 23, 2023. The Director of the Kewanee Area United Way, Linda Blair, said “The mission of the Kewanee Area United Way is to increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another.” The non-profit organizations funded by the Kewanee Area United way must align with the mission.
