Our Partners

Community Partner Agencies

Programs that receive funding from United Way are delivered by organizations we proudly call United Way Community Partners. We use this language intentionally, because meaningful change happens through strong partnerships with the nonprofit agencies working on the front lines of our community.

The collective generosity of donors who support United Way's annual fundraising campaign is what powers our community impact strategy. 

Since 2014, United Way has funded programs on a two-year investment cycle, providing stability for agencies while allowing for ongoing evaluation and alignment with the community’s most pressing needs.

At present, United Way funds 46 local programs facilitated by 38 community partner agencies — as well as our own programs and initiatives.
