What We Fight For
PUT YOUR PASSION INTO PURPOSE.
Right now, more than 220,000 people in Central Indiana are living in, or one emergency away from, poverty.
That’s where United Way comes in – uniting passionate people, like you, to support these critical causes, volunteer in communities that need us the most, and advocate for positive changes at every level. Simply put, your donation can help children, families and our neighbors reach their full potential.
AREA OF GREATEST IMPACT
Poverty is a complex and stubborn problem that can affect families for generations. Your investment in the Area of Greatest Impact is one of the most powerful ways to fight poverty, expand opportunity for people that need it the most, and respond to any community crisis in real time.
BASIC NEEDS
Providing food, housing, transportation and access to health services is at the core of United Way’s mission. Today, with your investment, we continue this important work of providing critical assistance and essential services to families, senior citizens and children.
FAMILY OPPORTUNITY
Your gift to Family Opportunity means more parents with family-supporting jobs, healthy children meeting developmental milestones, and better-connected individuals participating in civic and family life. By generating a legacy of family well-being that passes from one generation to the next, you can help strengthen our neighborhoods and communities.
SOCIAL INNOVATION
Your donation to Social Innovation will spark new ideas, expand successful programs and fund projects that lead to community-wide solutions to the complex problem of poverty. If you’re passionate about fast-tracking change in our region, this initiative is for you.
SECTOR SUPPORT
Your gift to our sector support initiatives ensures we have a strong and well-resourced human services sector prepared to tackle our community’s toughest challenges. United Way works to strengthen and build the capacity of human services nonprofits through accreditation, infrastructure improvements, new and enhanced technologies, and quality staff educational experiences.
