OUR MISSION

United Way of Forsyth County

brings the community and its resources together to solve problems that no one organization can address alone.

OUR VISION

A world-class community where no one lives in poverty and EVERYONE holds the power to access the opportunities and resources needed to thrive.

Who We Are

In collaboration with our partners and community leaders, we identify our community’s most pressing needs. The money we raise is used to address the root causes of those problems through strategic investments and partnerships that achieve measurable, lasting results.

The most significant problems in our community are interconnected and complex. They require a coordinated approach by many different organizations to solve. UWFC and volunteers on the impact council are uniquely positioned to understand the needs in the community and how proposals from our partners will address these needs. We hold our partners and ourselves accountable for the money we invest in every program.

United Way of Forsyth County is working to create a thriving community by investing in neighborhoods and households with a specific focus on creating equitable communities, improving economic mobility, and ensuring childhood and student success. UWFC invests in over 60 programs and initiatives with more than 40 local partner nonprofit organizations.
