At United Way, you'll see a lot more than just fundraising. You'll see a community leader that helps you solve important issues and problems in our community. By bringing the community together - local businesses, labor unions, government officials, contributors, and partner agencies, we focus on and address our community's most important health and human service issues. The mission of United Way is to improve people's lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities. A Community-Based National Movement - United Ways across the country activate community resources to make the greatest possible human impact. The United Way system includes approximately 1,400 community-based United Way organizations. Each is independent, separately incorporated and governed by local volunteers. As community leaders, United Ways address the most critical local issues and mobilize resources beyond the dollars that are pledged through their fund-raising efforts. Community partners often include schools, government policy makers, businesses, organized labor, financial institutions, voluntary and neighborhood associations, community development corporations and the faith community
