Community Fund Campaign
This year’s goal is 5.2 Million!
What is the Community Fund?
The Community Fund is how United Way of the Coastal Empire creates real, lasting change for individuals and families in our community. This fund allows us to direct resources where they are needed most and reach more people across our region.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. United Way is the village that supports our community, and the Community Fund is the most powerful way to make that happen.
By giving to this fund, your investment helps:
- Connect people to important resources like food, housing and family support.
- Improve childhood literacy.
- Provide tailored services and assistance to those in each of our five-county region (Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Liberty and Long counties).
- Provide grants to trusted nonprofits to fund impactful local programs.
- Connect volunteers to causes that strengthen our community.
- And more!
