How We Invest

UNITED TO AMPLIFY IMPACT

United Way provides vital funding to a network of agencies, providing a lifeline for thousands of neighbors in need. Donor investments and grants help address emerging needs in our four impact areas. Together, more than 35 non-profits across Bradley and Polk Counties are working in unison with a common goal to benefit the greater good. Our non-profit partners strive to provide programs that meet immediate basic needs, break the cycle of poverty, give kids an equal chance and build pathways to a healthy community. 

In short, we drive tangible, sustainable results through relationships, investments and transformative action to create thriving communities.
