Vision

United Way of Greater New Haven envisions a vibrant region in which children are nurtured and have excellent opportunities beginning at birth, individuals and families are financially stable and people of all ages are connected to one another and hopeful about the future.

Mission

United Way advances the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all.  Our focus is on education, income and health – the building blocks for a good quality of life.  United Way recruits people and organizations who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done.

Our Priorities

United Way can be most effective when it works with partners to improve lives and change conditions in our community through a set of focused community priorities.  Based on what we learned through Community Compass – that our region’s greatest challenges are economic and educational disparity – we are working within three priority areas:

• Education -- Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential Through Education
• Income -- Helping Families Become Financially Stable
• Health -- Helping People Become Active and Healthy

Towns Served

United Way brings together leaders and citizens from every town in our region to improve lives and change conditions.
