Community Impact is a philosophy premised upon improving lives by mobilizing communities to create lasting and long term changes. This is done by achieving measurable results through strategies that focus on community systems and resources. Community Impact brings organizations, community leaders, and community members together in a structured way, to achieve social change. As the United Way moves towards 100% Community Impact funding, we are also building a culture that fosters respect, relationships, and trust among all participants. Community Impact funding is centered around our three pillars: Education, Financial Stability, and Health.
