A NETWORK OF CHANGEMAKERS

Meaningful partnerships for meaningful change

United Way has spent the past two years developing a new organizational strategy aimed at advancing our vision of an economically-just region where access to financial wellbeing is universal, and prosperity is shared across race and ethnicity. The portfolio of 124 organizations we’ve selected for partnership as part of our seven-year plan truly represents our new way forward.
We prioritized organizations that reflect inclusive leadership, work deeply in our 12 focus communities, and those that ensure community perspectives and experiences are integrated into program design and implementation. We believe that together with our community partners, we can create opportunity and work toward a future where every individual is empowered to meet their financial goals, high quality early education and out of school time programs are available when and where they are needed most, youth and young adults, especially those who have been disconnected from school or work, have access to education and career pathways, and safe and stable housing is abundant, and homelessness is a rare, brief, one-time event.
