About Us > Our Mission

To improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities.
United Way is focusing on the building blocks of a good life for all - education, income and health. It takes all of us working together to build a stronger Southwestern Indiana. Everyone has something to offer. United Way connects people to opportunities to GIVE, ADVOCATE & VOLUNTEER.

United Way of Southwestern Indiana is:

Local

• United Way of Southwestern Indiana serves Vanderburgh, Spencer and  Warrick counties.
• Funds are raised and distributed locally.
• Your United Way is governed by a 30 to 35-member board of area volunteers.

Accountable

• Volunteers oversee every aspect of the organization, ensuring United Way funds are prudently managed.
• In-depth financial analysis and controls assure fiscal responsibility.
• Each year, a team of over 60 volunteers review the programs and decide how funds should be distributed.

Efficient

• One community-wide campaign supports vital programs in the areas of education, income and health.
• Volunteers stretch the value of each dollar contributed.

Responsive

• To assist fund allocations, a need study is conducted every three years to determine what the community considers high-priority issues.
