Mission & Focus Areas

The organization’s mission is to mobilize people and resources to improve lives, strengthen the community, and advance equity for the benefit of all. Its “How We Win” strategy identifies affordable housing, high-quality and affordable childcare, postsecondary education and industry certifications, and transportation as barriers to higher earnings for low-income households in Greenville County. The strategy also uses systems-change approaches, including investing resources, influencing policy, and shaping public narratives.

United Way supports organizations addressing these areas. For example, United Ministries says it provides opportunities for people in Greenville County who lack education or employment skills, are in financial crisis, or are homeless. Habitat for Humanity of Greenville describes its work as including home construction, repairs, neighborhood revitalization, and homeownership readiness and sustainability courses. Greer Relief and Resources Agency says its mission is to help neighbors overcome barriers to success and eliminate poverty.

The stated eligibility criteria include being a 501(c)(3) or quasi-governmental organization, having existed for at least two years, serving Greenville County residents, and addressing poverty in alignment with the strategy.
