Our Impact

United Way of the Mohawk Valley is a leading problem solver, innovator, and connector in our community.

For 100 years, we have put our community's donations to work by:

Innovating and adapting to meet the ever-changing needs of our community.
Connecting with and funding vital programs impacting our community's access to health, education, and financial stability - the building blocks for a good quality of life.
Solving problems and filling unmet needs and gaps in services.

OUR VALUE: Delivering the greatest impact.

Our work is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We all win when a child succeeds in school, individuals and families are financially stable, and people are healthy and have access to the things needed for a good quality of life. United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems.

Your contribution to United Way of the Mohawk Valley supports dozens of local programs, helping thousands of people in our community. The result is a direct impact on our community and funding to our partner agencies that provide help and hope to those they serve.

LIVE UNITED: Our Approach to Creating a Thriving Community

No one person or agency can do it alone. That's why we unite individuals, nonprofits, businesses, and local leaders to work together to solve our community's problems. Because everyone in our community should have the opportunity to succeed and your help is vital to the success of our work.

Our community is stronger when we LIVE UNITED.

Together, we are stepping up for our community to beat the odds. Together, we will keep leading the way to a better tomorrow. Together, we can keep moving forward.

Together, we can help our community thrive.
