United Ways of California
Live United. Give. Advocate. Volunteer.
Throughout California, local United Ways fight to ensure that every family has the tools and resources they need to lead successful lives. They advance opportunities for low-income people by focusing on three priority areas: health, education, income.
United Ways are well-positioned to address the needs of Californians. We are connected to our local communities through direct service via local United Ways and their community-based organization partners. Few advocacy organizations also provide or fund services in the areas their beneficiaries need; United Ways of California helps bridge the gap between policy and practice by bringing local United Ways' expertise to the table to inform policymakers on what areas are most critical to low-income Californians.
California’s local United Ways do vital work in their communities. Collectively, they raise over $200 million a year in charitable gifts for targeted investments and critical health, education, and financial sustainability services.
By working together through United Ways of California, local United Ways can more effectively pursue opportunities and develop resources across multiple regions and the entire state, and better influence the state policy environment, which has a significant impact on local United Ways’ success in their communities.
Individually and together, California’s United Ways build a stronger California by mobilizing our public, private and nonprofit sectors through research, civic engagement, public policy advocacy, and results-based funding.
