Looking to the Future

After an extensive strategic planning process engaging more than 400 community members representing all of United Way of the Coastal Empire’s constituencies, we are united by a vision of the community in which all people have the opportunity to reach their full potential and families thrive.

Our mission is to improve lives.

Building a Vibrant
and Equitable Community

The United Way of the Coastal Empire recognizes that its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, exemplified in the collective action of its staff, its volunteers, and its partners, is an essential ingredient in fulfilling its mission to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community to create a society in which all people have the opportunity to reach their full potential.​

We will be a leader in advocating for our community to be one where everyone has the resources, opportunities, and support they need to live fully.
