Mission: For over 82 years, United Way of Southwest Louisiana has been committed to building strong, successful families and strengthening our community. When you join the team this year, you're supporting a powerful movement to rebuild and revitalize from the direct impacts of 5 federally declared natural disasters in 10 months. (Hurricanes Laura & Delta, Winter Storm Uri, Pandemic and now unprecedented flooding)

Corporate Cornerstone companies cover 94 - 96% of administrative and fundraising costs each year. They give directly to that purpose so no donor dollars are ever used on admin or fundraising. This is not taken into consideration when the rating is given here.

United Way of Southwest Louisiana is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1954, and donations are tax-deductible.
