Your Donations at Work: United Way's 2023-26 Funded Partners

As of July 1, 2023, thanks to your donations, United Way of Lane County is investing over $1.4 million into 24 organizations and 4 nonprofit coalitions over the next few years. Our Community Support Grants and our Community Transformation Grants enable local programs to address immediate needs, and work “upstream” to prevent challenges before they begin, ultimately improving outcomes for kids both today and long into the future. These are your investments, at work in our community - thank you!
