Our Approach
Meeting Local Needs
United Way brings local ideas, people and resources together to make sure everyone-especially the most vulnerable-has the opportunity to thrive.
Hyper-Local Focus
We live in the communities we serve, working with local leaders and residents. Together, we're using local data and local insights to create solutions tailor-made to that community's challenges. It's all rooted in United Way values and the strategies we know work, but we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Scaling Solutions Globally
With 12,000 United Way leaders and staff in 34 countries and territories, we have the knowledge, perspectives, relationships, and resources to drive change at a global level. And we're intentional about scaling proven solutions.
Our Approach
Tackling Hunger in New Ways
Hunger is a global problem. Across our network, United Ways are co-creating innovative solutions that work in their communities. In Charleston, South Carolina, "food pharmacies" are connecting the dots between access to healthy food and good health, and giving more people more access to fresh, healthy food.
Struggling To Stay Afloat
It’s been a tough few years for so many of us. Whether it’s residual health or economic impacts of the global pandemic, natural disasters or personal challenges, many are struggling. United Way is there in every community we serve, with a special focus on our most vulnerable neighbors.
