OUR MISSION
United Way of St. Joseph County is dedicated to fighting poverty and fostering community well-being. Focusing on four key areas—Early Learning, Youth Success, Stable Families, and Critical Needs—United Way addresses the root causes of poverty and empowers individuals to build better futures. By collaborating with over 20 local nonprofits, United Way maximizes its impact through collective expertise and resources.
United Way’s mission is driven by community needs assessments, which help identify priorities and allocate resources to fill service gaps. By funding essential social services and ensuring fiscal oversight, United Way guarantees effective and transparent use of funds for measurable results.
As a catalyst for social change, United Way offers a streamlined system for local employers, employees, and donors to address community needs. This allows other local agencies to focus more on service delivery and less on fundraising, maximizing their on-the-ground impact. Donors can trust that their contributions directly support local initiatives, ensuring positive change within the community.
Since 1914, United Way of St. Joseph County has contributed over $122 million to individuals and organizations in the region, promoting social justice and economic equity. This legacy highlights United Way’s commitment to building a resilient, inclusive, and prosperous community. As it adapts to changing needs, United Way remains dedicated to reducing poverty and fostering sustainable change, inspiring hope and transforming lives.
