About Us
How We Do It
When you give to United Way, you strengthen our community’s ability to make change for families — not just today, but far into the future. Here’s how we do it.
Community Investment
We strategically invest locally-raised dollars in organizations providing basic needs to kids and families, and in coalitions creating long-term, sustainable solutions to systemic issues.
Cross-Sector Collaboration
We bring nonprofits, government, businesses, and philanthropists together to solve big problems. We connect local leaders, leverage local resources, and connect the dots to create positive outcomes.
Collective Action
We make it easy for people to get involved and create an impact together. From distributing books to young readers to coordinating thousands of local volunteers, Lane County turns to United Way to get things done.
