Community Impact Grants

Every year, the FCUW board appropriates a percent of the funds raised, during the yearly campaign, to go towards Community Impact Grants. Requests are considered during monthly meetings of the Board of Directors and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in applying for one of these grants, call Deb Oyler, Executive Director at 620-275-1425 or email fcuwed@gmail.com.
