About United Way of Benton & Franklin Counties
Our United Way is more than a fundraiser; we are a community problem solver working with and for our community to create lasting solutions to our greatest challenges. To do this, we serve as a catalyst for action around the growing issue of instability in our community by strengthening the capacity of the non-profit community, forging multi-sector partnerships, and pursuing diverse sources of support. These actions enable us to focus on:
• Helping children achieve their potential from cradle to career by supporting family stability, safety, and educational success.
• Ensuring access to care and supporting integrated approaches to improving addiction services, mental health care, and prevention.
• Providing a safety net to address basic needs while we identify and pursue long-term, root cause solutions.
• Building civic engagement through volunteerism to strengthen the impact of organizations addressing our community’s critical social issues.
