Cedar Valley United Way Moblizes the Community

Cedar Valley United Way improves lives by mobilizing the caring power of the community. More than fundraisers, United Ways are partners in change, working with a broad range of people and organizations to identify and resolve pressing community issues. United Ways have led the nonprofit sector in the call for transparent accountability and measurable results.

To achieve measurable, lasting change, Cedar Valley United Way identifies and builds on community strengths and assets, helps individuals and groups with specific community interests find ways to contribute their time and talents, and supports direct-service programs and community-change efforts.

All of this is done in collaboration with diverse partners. Depending on the issue and how the community chooses to address it, United Way works with schools, government agencies, businesses, organized labor, financial institutions, community development corporations, voluntary and neighborhood associations, the faith community, and others.

Cedar Valley United Way focuses on three issue areas:

• Helping children succeed—Education
• Promoting self-sufficiency & Poverty Reducation—Income
• Supporting Vulnerable Populations—Health
