United Way of West Ellis County funds the most effective local projects that return measurable outcomes.
How does United Way of West Ellis County tackle tough problems? By finding, funding, and partnering with the most effective local projects / agencies that create real opportunities and get results. United Way of West Ellis County's allies are called "partners," and they are any individual or group that works with UWWEC in a coordinated effort to achieve a shared community goal. Community Impact Partners are recipients of grants through our organization.
We believe that everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.
That’s why our work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:
- Youth Opportunity – Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential
- Financial Stability – Promoting Financial Stability and Independence
- Healthy Community – Improving the Well-Being of Those in Our Community.
