OUR IMPACT

A Plan for Community Well-Being
At United Way of Dane County, we know that the well-being of our children and families directly impacts the overall health of our community. In short, family well-being = community well-being! We also know that there’s so much work yet to be done to dismantle racial and systemic inequities that prevent many families and individuals from leading thriving lives – and the only way we can overcome these barriers is by working together towards collective impact.

By working with our hundreds of nonprofit and community partners, we aim to be a catalyst of systemic change, helping more families and individuals get what they need in the areas of early childhood, education, income and health so that they may lead healthy, thriving and secure lives that meet their own defined goals.

With your support, we can continue to mobilize the caring power of our community to create lasting, meaningful change that spans generations. Together, we are The Power of Many. Working for All.
