The LIVE UNITED business model is simple: Everything we do at United Way is in a relentless pursuit to advance the common good. We create opportunities for folks of all ages and income levels to have a better life. There are basic things we all need to have a good life: a good education that leads to a stable job that provides enough income to support a family through retirement. And of course, we need our health.

United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of problems in our community. We assess our community to determine the greatest needs. We gather the resources of time, talent and treasure and invest them in three impact areas: education, income and health. Lastly, we monitor our investments and our funded programs to make sure they are delivering high-quality service to those who need it most.
We invite our entire community to be part of the change and challenge our partners to LIVE UNITED.

LIVING UNITED is a mission. It’s a credo. LIVE UNITED is our rally cry. It’s about living your life 365 days a year in a way that constantly connects you to others. It’s about blending your professional connections and your philanthropic passions. It’s reaching out a hand to one, and influencing the condition of all.

There are three key components to LIVING UNITED. When you GIVE, ADVOCATE and VOLUNTEER, you can make a true difference in your community.
