There are different ways to apply for funding at UpTogether, but you must first become a member.
To become a member, you must create an UpTogether Account by going to app.uptogether.org
UpTogether is more than just a platform—it’s a community and a movement that invests in families by supporting the actions they’re already taking to achieve their personal and financial goals. Through our online platform, members can form small groups, share resources, and support one another in reaching their aspirations.
Once you've created your account, there are two main ways to apply for funding:
Open Applications: We periodically have funds available for eligible members to apply for. Open applications are available to any UpTogether member who meets eligibility criteria and lives in the location set by the specific funder. Note that more members apply than slots are usually available, so not all applicants will be approved. Some open applications are on a first-come, first-served basis, and others are randomly selected (the funder determines).
Code Applications: Funds available with invitation codes are created in partnership with organizations and community groups. Funders work with community organizations in the area they are investing in and have those organizations distribute codes to families. UpTogether has no control over which members/families receive codes, as they are not distributed by UpTogether staff.
Funding is not always available in all areas. We encourage members to stay active on UpTogether Connect and ensure your contact information is current. Notifications are sent out when new funding opportunities you may be eligible for are available.
By staying involved, you maximize your opportunities for support and continue building connections that help everyone move up—together.
