Who We Are

How to Give

Member Agencies

People need help all over, so United Way strives to impact every area of Upper, Central and Lower Bucks County.

We listen to our community. Residents tell us what they consider to be their most critical issues and, ultimately, help our volunteers determine which programs need funding. Our member agencies then partner with us to provide services in all of these areas. A complete listing of our agencies is listed below.

New in 2006, we also provided addtional one-time Venture Grants to a variety of projects throughout Bucks County. A separate listing of these project can be found HERE.
