About Us

You probably already know that Cedar Valley United Way holds annual campaigns and distributes funds to worthy programs. But you may not realize your CVUW does so much more. Cedar Valley United Way makes it their mission to be experts on the complex and ever-changing human condition throughout the Cedar Valley. They strive to be a resource organizer and community problem-solver, with initiatives and collaborative projects that put your contributions to work where they’re needed most.

With careful planning, they make sure the resources at their disposal – including dollars, volunteers and in-kind services – go where they will do the most good and help make the Cedar Valley a better place to live.
