Give.
When you give to United Way of Lane County, you strengthen our community’s ability to make change for families - not just today, but far into the future.
You support everyday needs by providing essential grants to programs serving families across Lane County. You improve community conditions by fostering and funding coalitions addressing root causes of issues. You build the capacity of nonprofits by providing them with training, support, and connections to resources. You mobilize volunteers by supporting nonprofits’ recruitment and engagement efforts. And you ensure each of these strategies is shaped and informed by community voices, ensuring this work is community-shaped and community-led.
With your support, we’re working to create a community where all kids are successful in school and life.
