To unite our community in measurably improving the condition of people's lives
About our Organization
United Way of Central Iowa's mission is to unite our community in measurably improving the condition of people’s lives.
This means our organization is focused on results. We don’t just talk about improving our community— we focus on solutions that bring about change. As needs grow and issues become more complex, our community needs the expertise of United Way to ensure we are achieving results on important issues.
United Way extends your investment because we are focused on providing solutions for our most critical issues. You make a wise investment when you give to United Way, because we take the guesswork out of knowing where your gift can do the greatest good.
United Way is also efficient with your money, allowing your generosity to positively impact more people. We consistently maintain our operational costs to 10 percent. This means 90 percent of your contribution is directly invested to bring about change in our community.
