After much planning and discussion, United Way Silicon Valley has narrowed its focus and changed its strategy for awarding grants. No longer the automatic funder of 90 to 100 non-profits in the valley, it has decided that the biggest impact comes from going narrow and deep, not shallow and wide. That means giving fewer grants but more money per grant in targeted areas: human service needs, including emergency housing assistance and eviction prevention; services for children targeting early childhood education and increasing the high-school graduation rate; and adult self-sufficiency, including job training and learning English."
