About

We know that one organization can’t solve our communities’ toughest challenges alone. We know it takes all of us, working together, to make a difference in the lives of so many that live right here in our neighborhoods.

We all benefit when a child succeeds in school, when someone finds a good job, and when more people receive quality health care.

We know change doesn’t happen alone.

We know with your support we focus on the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our four-county community.

We are an independently-governed 501(c)3 nonprofit organization connected to a network of more than 1,400 local United Ways through United Way Worldwide. We have our own board of directors and focus our work on local solutions for local problems. 

For more than a century, our United Way has worked hard to develop deep roots and build trust in the communities we serve. We take our role as stewards of donor dollars very seriously. There is nothing more important than the trust our donors place in us, as it is foundational to our ability to drive community change.
