About Us

The mission of United Way of the Midlands is simple: We unite people and resources to improve the quality of life in the Midlands. We work to determine and respond to the critical human service needs of the community, and this work is achieved by a four-part process: Determining community needs, Prioritizing community needs, Developing community resources, and Distributing community resources.

Community volunteers in three councils focused onEducation, Health and Financial Stability develop and review a community-wide needs assessment to determine key issues in the community. Based on priorities, opportunities and resources, the councils offer competitive grants to partner agencies who best address the need. Occasionally, United Way of the Midlands sponsors initiatives to implement large scale solutions. Funds are raised through a workplace campaign, grant writing and private, individual donations.
