United Way of Lane County
United Way — Live United
What is Community Impact and why is United Way the leader in this movement?
United Way of Lane County is the force for change in Lane County. Once a primarily fund raising organization, today’s United Way is strengthening our communities and improving lives through meaningful community impact work.
Community impact is:
- Identifying, addressing, and solving specific health and human care issues that no single donor, charity, or government agency can handle alone.
- Bringing key partners to the table to problem-solve with a community-wide focus, not just single issues.
- About improving the lives of all people affected by our community’s priority issues, not just those served by individual programs.
- Bringing the community together to focus on the building blocks of a good life – EDUCATION, INCOME and HEALTH – to achieve measurable results.
- Being an organization that focuses on the root causes of local issues and seeks lasting solutions.
United Way has transformed the way it operates in response to a changing environment. Our promise to our donors is to advance the common good by focusing resources and partnerships on achievable, measurable goals in the areas of education, income and health.
