What We Do

Support Nonprofit Programs

Education, financial stability, and health are the building blocks of strong children, stable families, and a vibrant community. We partner with local nonprofit organizations that we strongly believe address those issues. The collective partnership and investment process is called the Community Fund.

The Community Fund is how we invest local dollars in our community to address local needs. Funding decisions are made through a competitive application process. By leveraging donor dollars with our capacity-building grant process, we ensure the greatest return on investment for our donors, nonprofit partners, and those whose lives we improve together.

In 2020, United Way invested more than $3.6 million in 81 programs across 53 nonprofit agencies in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, and Liberty counties creating a vital network  of support and services.

Connect volunteers to causes
that strengthen our community

We connect individuals, families, corporations, and community groups to service opportunities in our area to create a positive impact for the people and for our community as a whole.

Opportunities range from feeding the homeless to tutoring virtually, from cleaning up a playground to meeting regularly with older adults for socialization. All efforts are welcomed.
