About UWI

What is United Way?

	Global Reach and Local Solutions

We are a global network of nonprofit organizations operating in 45 countries. Your United Way is run by people from your community; the important decisions are made at home by people who understand circumstances where they live and work.


	Leadership and Partnership

Your United Way brings together leaders from the nonprofit or charitable sector, the for-profit or business sector and even government to identify the top local needs or issues and develop strategies to work together to solve problems in your community.


	Resources and Expertise

Your United Way gathers money, goods and volunteer services from all types of donors and distributes this tangible support to the strongest local projects and charitable organizations. United Ways also work closely with companies, foundations and government to help craft their philanthropic strategies for the health of both donors and the communities being served.


	Impact

In the end, it's not about how much money we raised or how many committed and intelligent people worked together; it's about making permanent changes that improve lives... for example
