Invests in programs that are measurable, sustainable, and meet current community needs.

United Way’s Community Fund connects people in need to people who can help.

A community is only as strong as the people who call it home. That’s what drives United Way’s Community Fund.

  1. You donate to United Way’s Community Fund. You can give in the amount that’s comfortable for you. No gift is too small. Your donation is combined with other donors’ money to create one large pool of funds.
  2. You don’t have to decide on one specific issue to support. United Way connects people to possibilities by funding programs at local nonprofits.
  3. United Way always invests in programs that are measurable, sustainable, and meet current community needs. The Community Fund is creating lasting change for thousands of people right here in your own neighborhoods.
