The Basics
After listening to hundreds of business leaders, nonprofit directors, subject experts and community members, United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley shifted to focusing its resources to mobilize the caring power of our community to achieve impactful, systemic social change within our community. The vision we set for Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties is to achieve Four Bold Goals:

1. Removing the barrier to learning for every elementary school student who is impacted by poverty throughout our three county service area.
2. Creating tangible, long-lasting solutions to combat the crisis of homelessness in our communities.
3. Raise the capacity of the agencies who are committed to helping our friends and neighbors thrive.
4. Responding and stepping up to emergent needs in our communities.

These goals are BOLD, but attainable. And because they’re community-wide goals, it will take collaboration among many organizations to reach them. It will take all of us.

How will United Way achieve the Four Bold Goals for our community?
United Way will invest in partnerships - groups of nonprofit organizations, school districts, educational foundations, faith-based groups, businesses and government - whose interests, skills and resources will help us achieve our Four Bold Goals.

How can Workplace Campaigns help?
There are many ways that employees can make a big difference through their workplace United Way campaign:

• A direct monthly gift to the United Way Community Chest to be used as grant funding for area social service providers to serve the greatest need.
• A designated gift to a specific partner agency, or nonprofit charity of their choice.
• Participation in any fund-raising activities being held at their company in support of United Way.
• Participation in any volunteer activities made available to their company through United Way’s Volunteer opportunities.
• Spread the word about what you have learned about United Way and what you fight for toward a better community.
