Mission Statement
To create a thriving community by connecting people, resources and solutions throughout the Mohawk Valley.
About This Cause
At United Way of the Valley and Greater Area we work to help all members of our community have a better life, currently touching 1 in 4 people in our community. Our focus is on health, education, financial stability, and basic needs — the building blocks for a good quality of life: Health – Improving people’s health. Education – Helping children and youth achieve their potential. Financial Stability – Promoting financial stability and independence. Basic Needs – Connecting people in need with local resources and assistance - when they need them. Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when individuals and families are financially stable, when people are healthy and have access to the things needed for a good quality of life. United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living United means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. We win by living United. By forging unlikely partnerships. By finding new solutions to old problems. By mobilizing the best resources. And by inspiring individuals to join the fight against their community’s most daunting social crises. We’ve been building stronger communities for 97 years. We do it by working with local businesses, nonprofits, government, civic, and faith-based organizations, along with educators, labor leaders, health providers, senior citizens, young leaders, and more. Together, we take a hard, long look at the problems facing our community. We involve experts and leaders, practitioners and people in the neighborhoods. We work across partisan and income divides, inviting everyone into solutions. We hold community conversations to bring people from all walks of life into the solution conversation. Whether we’re driving agencies to common outcomes, leading an initiative, or creating collective impact, we’re the get-it-done people. We’re the stop-talking-start-doing-band-together-and-take-on-impossible-task-masters. No matter the odds, we surround a problem, and we fight to win—with results to show for it.
