FOR THE COMMUNITY. BY THE COMMUNITY.

No one person or organization can solve our community’s problems alone. But when nonprofits, businesses, municipal partners, and caring people like you come together, we become a force for good.

Together, we invest in the areas that matter most. Every gift to United Way Fox Cities combines with others to create a powerful fund for our community’s greatest challenges.

By investing in the areas of Health, Education, and Financial Stability, we can build a brighter future in the Fox Cities.

United Way Fox Cities relies on a team of dedicated volunteers to understand our community’s needs. Through active engagement with community leaders and caring individuals, we gain valuable insights. These insights help us strategically allocate resources where they can have the most significant impact in the Fox Cities region.

Together, we create lasting change and address critical issues.
