Mission Statement

United Way of Cumberland County (UWCC) leads the greater Fayetteville area in identifying and addressing the most critical needs in our community. Through volunteer-led research and evaluation, UWCC ensures that the most critical needs in Cumberland County are met.

About This Cause

Mission: To improve the quality of lives in Cumberland County by addressing critical human needs. How it works: (1) UWCC compiles local research on the most critical needs facing residents in Cumberland County. (2) UWCC educates the community about the most critical needs and encourages citizens to make a donation. (3) Volunteers analyze and review local programs and other United Way initiatives that are in place to meet these needs. (4) Volunteers decide how to designate United Way donations among the local programs that are best positioned to meet these needs. (5) Every year, the programs that receive United Way funding are evaluated on their program structure, budget, staffing, etc. to ensure accountability. Why give to United Way of Cumberland County? : Your United Way investment allows your dollar to be stretched among 100+ programs in Fayetteville, rather than going to just one organization. This means that your gift can do more than simply help a family with one need, but instead meet multiple needs that a family has in order for them to get back on track to a more sustainable life. Each year, UWCC funds over 100 local programs and 3 UWCC initiatives, including: Dolly Parton's Imagination Library: A program that promotes early-childhood literacy by providing one free book a month to children living in Cumberland County, ages 0 -5. NC 2-1-1: A 24/7 referral call line that connects any resident to any health or human service program in Cumberland County (at no cost to the caller). Leadership Development Program: A 10-week program that develops individuals into effective, responsible leaders so they are prepared to participate on local boards and committees. All United Way of Cumberland County donations stay in Cumberland County!
