Mission: Our mission is to improve lives, strengthen communities and advance equity by mobilizing the caring power of people across our metro area.
We have the tools and the know-how to connect people in need with the building blocks for a stable and healthy life-education, a living wage, financial stability and health and well-being.
Your support creates change. When you give money to United Way, you directly fund local projects that connect people with jobs, provide affordable housing and promote healthy living. When you volunteer your time and talent, you help children achieve in school or you give seniors and people with disabilities newfound autonomy. When you use your voice, you help set priorities that will provide opportunity for everyone in our community.
We know our community. Every dollar of every donation to United Way goes to projects that work.

United Way of the Columbia-Willamette is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1970, and donations are tax-deductible.
