United in Purpose

Learn More

We are the Uniters. We bring people together to solve problems.

We identify the most pressing issues in Addison County and we bring together the people we think can solve them. United Way funds agencies that, working together, can address the nuances of complex problems like poverty, homelessness, lack of affordable high-quality childcare, domestic violence, isolation, substance use disorder, and a disengaged workforce. We find solutions to fill unmet needs. We deploy volunteers as the feet on the street, delivering hope to people in need. We raise funding through generous donors who understand that social change can’t happen without it.

Now Accepting Letters of Interest: 2024 Community Impact Funding

UWAC focuses our efforts in three areas: Health, Education, and Financial Stability. Any organization receiving a Community Impact Funding grant from UWAC must clearly align with one of these areas of need. Every year, we enter funding relationships under one of these focus areas and make 3-year grants. We are currently accepting Letters of Interest for FINANCIAL STABILITY programs.
