Mission Statement
To improve lives by mobilizinsg the caring power of communities.
What We Do
Our purpose is to raise funds through an annual community fund drive to fund programs that positively impact the community. In addition, we fund special initiatives around early childhood education, volunteerism and obesity and facilitate collaboration around important community issues.
How We’re Different
United Way of Mower County is not just a fundraiser. We work in close partnership with private business, government and nonprofit agencies to pinpoint and address community issues. United Way of Mower County does NOT fund agencies, but programs that directly impact individuals and families in the community.
In order to qualify for funding programs must fit under one of our three impacts areas (1) ensuring basic needs (2) strengthening individuals and the community (3) supporting people in changing their lives.
