Our Purpose

Working with health and human services agencies, businesses and volunteers, United Way focuses on improving lives. We are a leader and your partner in making the Chippewa Valley a stronger, healthier more compassionate community. United Way has been an important part of the Chippewa Valley since 1957.

Just as the Chippewa Valley's economic, social and philanthropic landscape has evolved, so has the work of United Way. Along with our partners and volunteers, we continuously assess the needs of the community and respond with both long-term and short-term plans that are focused on getting sustainable results in areas that matter most in the Chippewa Valley. Today, United Way continues its rich legacy of impacting the local community by advancing the common good by focusing on making a measurable difference on the building blocks of a good life: Education, Income and Health.

                                               

In partnership with local businesses, nonprofit organizations, the faith-based community, local and state governments, educational institutions and individuals, United Way remains committed to its mission of improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of people in our community. We continue to make wise investments of resources to address the most important issues facing our community and provide accountability for gifts made by our donors. United Way's new direction to advance the common good allows us to build on our traditional roles and assume a stronger role in convening and collaborating with other stakeholders to address root causes, not just the symptoms of problems as recommended by our donors and partners.
