What an exciting night! FPUC was honored to receive a $100,000 grant that will be used to expand our Master Leasing program, addressing housing inaccessibility for families with children by leveraging existing housing stock and enabling greater equity in our communities. This provides us with a great opportunity to expand our network of property owners as well.

The application process was arduous, beginning in fall of 2025 with several steps, as FPUC was among 100+ applicants. We applaud the eight finalist organizations for their efforts and missions. We are extremely grateful and honored to be part of the Impact100 family and excited to steward this grant.
