Agenda for Community Change

---

Our goal at United Way is to create long-lasting impact.  We concentrate our resources on making measurable change in specific, targeted priority areas of education, income (financial stability), and health.  These are the building blocks of a good life.  We also focus on building a strong foundation of safety net services, ensuring food, clothing and shelter to families in South Mississippi.

Education	Income	Health

Community Impact is:

• Identifying, addressing and solving specific issues in the areas of Education, Income, and Health that no single donor, charity, or government agency can handle alone.
• Bringing key partners to the table to problem solve with a community-wide focus, not just single issues.
• Improving the lives of all people affected by our community's priority issues, not just those served by individual programs.
• Bringing the community together to focus on these pressing issues to achieve measurable results.

In the first year of our three-year grant cycle (2010-2013), United Way of South Mississippi invested $785,117 in local programs addressing the most pressing issues in our community in the above priority areas.  Click here to see the full list of programs your donations are supporting.
