Our Work
United Way advances the common good by focusing on the building blocks of a good life:
- Quality education, so our children can succeed in school, graduate and achieve their potential.
- Enough income so families and individuals are financially stable and have places to live.
- Good health, especially for our older adults, so they may age with dignity and independence.
Through United Way's work to build coalitions, invest in 90 programs at 50 local partner agencies, and provide community leadership, your United Way support changes the lives of tens of thousands of people every year in the Greater Richmond-Petersburg region.
