United Way of Central Ohio is dedicated to providing opportunities for people to succeed. We do that by acting as a catalyst for lasting improvements and by mobilizing our community to give and volunteer. We raise funds and invest in a network of 84 funded partners that work to ensure people in crisis get food, shelter and assistance; help children succeed from cradle to career; engage residents, businesses and government in neighborhood revitalization efforts and teach people the skills they need to get and keep a good job. We bring leaders together to improve the policies and systems that directly affect thousands of lives, and we develop and implement innovative and integrated ways to reduce poverty. We work intensively in priority neighborhoods to create broad positive changes by empowering neighborhood leaders and residents to change the places they live. We are dedicated to making the principles of diversity and inclusion a foundation for everything we do because we know the best decisions are made when all voices are heard and respected.
