In partnership with the City of Battle Creek, the United Way of South Central Michigan (UWSCMI) will administer a portion ($500,000) of the City of Battle Creeks Federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.

Through this open ARP Seeding Health- City of Battle Creek process, local nonprofit partners are invited to submit 3-year funding requests to support efforts to addresses the negative impacts of COVID-19 by creating or increasing equitable access to healthcare for nonprofit employees in the City of Battle Creek.

This opportunity is open to nonprofit organizations that are located in and/or employ a majority (more than 50%) of individuals who live in the City of Battle Creek. Additionally, priority will be given to organizations that have experienced negative economic impacts of COVID-19.
