Verified Impact Partners
Our success as a community relies on collaboration. These Verified Impact Partners work with us, each other, and our community to make lasting social change. When you give to United Way, you invest in dozens of organizations, non-profits, and programs best positioned to make lasting change.
Applying for and receiving a United Way grant means these nonprofits are the best at what they do. These programs stood the test of critical and smart community members, financial reviews, and strategic alignment to our mission and rose to the top – that’s what makes them “verified”. “Impact” is our common goal – we both want to change lives for our neighbors in poverty. And “partner” is because we can only do it together – through shared connections, shared ideas, and shared resources. We are thankful for the work they do and for being our partner to make our community a better place.
