Camden Community Co-Labs: Benefits Access
The Camden Community Co-Labs Benefits Access Request for Collaborations (RFC) is a $2 million funding opportunity from United Way for organizations and partners serving Camden residents. Grants of up to $1 million will be awarded to support collaborative proposals that create “One-Stop” models connecting community members with public benefits, healthcare, financial services, and other essential supports that expand access and drive long-term economic opportunity.
We are currently accepting applications for Camden Community Co-Labs: Benefits Access. Proposals are due September 5.
Thank you to our partners
