UWGP Request for Proposals
United Way of Greater Portland (UWGP) is pleased to announce a Request for Proposals “UWGP RFP” seeking to fund programs, initiatives, or collaborations in Greater Portland (Cumberland County with the exception of Brunswick and Harpswell) that begin to make measurable progress on one or more of Thrive2027’s three community-wide goals. Thrive2027, our community’s new collective vision for how to make our region even stronger for everyone who calls it home, are three ten-year goals created by and for the community. The Thrive2027 Goals are firmly grounded in data and reflect the hopes and dreams of thousands of people throughout Greater Portland. The Goals provide a clear, unifying path forward to a better future for everyone, and collectively serve as a blueprint for a stronger Greater Portland.
