About Us

United Way has always taken pride in working to improve the community for everyone. We unite our donors, volunteers, community leaders, nonprofit partners, and government at all levels to solve challenges through innovation, compassion, and action.

We’re working to ensure everyone in our community has access to housing, food security, educational opportunities, and financial stability. And we won’t stop. When we work side by side, such a future is possible.


Our Mission

We bring the community together to work toward racial justice by supporting our neighbors and transforming inequitable systems.

Our Vision

We envision equitable and just communities where all people thrive.

Our Values

These core beliefs guide our work: leadership, accountability, racial equity, integrity, collaboration, and a supportive work environment.

Leadership

As grant makers, fundraisers, and service providers, we hold a responsibility to restore power and resources to Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color. We believe transforming inequitable systems and building an equitable future is only possible when we work with, invest in, and advocate for those furthest from opportunity.
