Anti-Poverty Mission
At United Way, they are focused on one singular cause: reducing poverty. Poverty determines a child’s access to quality educational experiences, healthcare, nutrition and even life expectancy, trapping generations of families in poverty. In Douglas County, it is the single greatest issue that they face, but together they can break the cycle of poverty.
The United Way’s anti-poverty investments are focused on 4 goals:
Agencies can apply for both grant opportunities. United Way makes investments in measurable progress toward increasing access and reducing barriers for low-income Douglas County community members, prioritizing people who are low-income, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and others experiencing systemic marginalization and oppression. Because anti-poverty projects are bolstered by basic-needs funding, organizations with adequate capacity and reach can also complete a supplemental request for direct service funds.
