For decades, United Way of the Coastal Empire has been working to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community.  But as the community’s needs have evolved, so too has our role; and as a leader in the philanthropic community, we accept not only the responsibility of securing financial resources for human service programs, but also for providing myriad supports and resources to keep our community moving forward. 

So, who is United Way of the Coastal Empire today? 

• COMMUNITY INVESTOR.  We engage dozens of community volunteers to provide evaluation of and recommendations for program funding, each year; the funds raised by the community through United Way’s annual campaign are, in turn, allocated by the community through United Way’s program funding process; once funding is awarded, we continually evaluate programs for effectiveness, ensuring the strongest possible return on investment for donor contributions.
• COMMUNITY CONVENER.  We convene and work hand-in-hand with community leaders, non-profits, state and local government, businesses, faith-based organizations and other community partners to foster awareness of and measurable impact on the human service needs of the community.
• COMMUNITY MOBILIZER.  We collaborate with policy makers and advocate for important issues around health, education, and income; we provide meaningful opportunities to engage the public in meeting the needs of the community through activities, events and volunteerism.
