Mission

The United Way of Virginia leverages the collective power and resources of 17 Virginia United Way networks and hundreds of localized programs to improve the lives of low-income individuals across the commonwealth. It plays a critical role in the statewide human-service infrastructure by providing leadership, identifying local community needs, and collaborating with public and private stakeholders to create lasting change. These partnerships develop powerful tailored solutions to current and emerging issues in individual communities, which can drive greater impact, reduce costs, generate revenue, and create efficiencies.
