To Improve Lives by moblizing We improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of the community... it bears repeating! More than a fundraiser, United Way of Bucks County is a partner in change, working with a broad range of people and organizations to identify and resolve pressing community issues. To achieve measurable, lasting change, United Way of Bucks County identifies and builds on community strengths and assets, helps individuals and groups with specific community interests find ways to contribute their time and talents, supports direct-service programs and community-change efforts, and advocates for public policy changes. All of this is done in collaboration with diverse partners. Depending on the issue and how the community chooses to address it, United Way wors with schools, government agencies, businesses, organized labor, financial institutions, community development corporations, voluntary and neighborhood associations, the faith community, and others. Although there are approximately 1,300 United Ways Nationally, each organization is autonomous. Because of the unique conditions in diverse communities, the issues United Ways address are determined locally, governed by a local Board of Directors. What holds United Ways together is the brand... a common belief in our approach to solving community problems and our committment to accountability and transparancy.
