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 stewards in four targeted care councils develop and review a community-wide needs assessment to determine key issues in the community. Once the issues are prioritized, these volunteers then determine which organizations can best provide direct services to allocate funding. Funds are raised through a workplace campaign, grant writing and private, individual donations.
