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 thiswork is achieved by a four-part process:

Determining community needs
Prioritizing community needs
Developing community resources
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.
