United 4 Youth: Children's Enrichment Fund Scholarship Program
Thank you for your interest in partnering with United Way Charlotte County & The United 4 Youth: Children's Enrichment Fund Scholarship Program!
Together, we can open doors for local students by removing financial barriers that prevent them from participating in extracurricular and enrichment activities.
About the Program
The Children's Enrichment Fund provides financial assistance to qualifying families, up to $300 per child each year, for Charlotte County youth to participate in activities that promote growth, connection, and confidence—such as sports, music, arts, 4-H, and more.
This initiative, established by the Leadership Charlotte Class of 2025 and powered by community partners, ensures every child has the opportunity to thrive.
