At United Way, we take the investment of donor dollars very seriously. We identify emerging needs and service gaps, make smart investments in the work of nonprofit agencies, and employ a range of other strategies for social change.

It’s been seven months since we introduced our 5-year Strategic Plan  – packed with bold goals toward building a community where people have homes, students graduate and families are financially stable. Community-level change isn’t something we can deliver alone – we’ve been working with our impact volunteers and grantee partners to refocus our work to meet those bold goals.

In January, our Board of Directors approved our 2017 Strategy and Investment Plan. This plan provides more detail on how we will use our investments through grantmaking, influence through public policy and leverage in working with funding partners to make progress in Fiscal Year 2017 on each of our four goals.

Wondering what areas of investment will be changing? What grants will be available?  How we plan to measure progress on our goals? This is the document to read!
