our impact : 2023

funds raised
To date in 2023, we have raised over $550,000 for local programs supporting health equity for priority populations, and programs supporting children, youth, and families on the south coast.

Community Service
Our 2023 Days of Caring in Coos and Curry brought together 135+ volunteers to assist 40 homeowners with basic yardwork needs. And through fundraising and community partnerships, over 500 south coast children and youth received a new coat, hat, pair of gloves, and/or pair of shoes for the winter.

nonprofit services
Our monthly networking session connects 40+ Coos & Curry organizations, and by year-end we will complete five free grant writing workshops for local nonprofits and community organizations.
diversity, equity & Inclusion
We take the broadest possible view of diversity. We value the visible and invisible qualities that make a person who they are. We welcome that every person brings a unique perspective and experience to advance our mission and progress our fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our Coos and Curry County communities. We believe that each United Way community member, donor, volunteer, advocate, and employee must have equal access to solving community problems. We strive to include diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at the center of our daily work. We commit to using these practices for our business and our communities. Join us in embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion for every person in every community.
