Make an Impact
When you choose the United Way Impact Fund, you support a network of high performing non-profits that help teens and youth succeed, ease vulnerability of our older seniors and reduce financial struggles for adults and families.
The scope and reach of United Way’s Impact Fund extends across many populations and needs.
Your gift helps strengthen our community by supporting services and initiatives that:
- Enhance employee readiness skills for youth
- Advocate violence prevention and drug free activities
- Reduce isolation and improve health and independence for seniors
- Offer relief for families with frail elderly relatives
- Address mental health, addiction and substance abuse needs
- Heighten self-sufficiency through job-training and skill-building
- Provide access to safe, affordable housing and utility cost reduction
- Support all citizens during times of disaster
In addition, you can further help children and youth by supporting two new United Way of Allegheny County initiatives aimed at preventing youth violence and motivating kids to succeed in school – initiatives that are vital to the well-being of our children and the health of our community. No other choice allows you to help so many with just one gift.
“Giving is a very personal matter for donors, often linked to their individual cause of choice. But there is tremendous value in embracing the collective efforts of high performing organizations. United Way allows this collective set of voices to be raised, but the benefit doesn’t stop there. United Way’s endorsement enables an organization to leverage more dollars, reduce internal fund raising costs and help more people in need.”
