Overview

Community Needs Fund The United Way of Greater Waterbury aims to address the ongoing and emerging needs of the community. The United Way’s adopted Impact Area strategies are utilized in prioritizing needs to be addressed. Funding Areas Education You can help local children and youth engage more in learning. With increased exposure to early educational experiences and out-of-school opportunities, more kids will enter our schools with fundamental learning skills – and a foundation for life-long success. Financial stability You can help individuals connect with resources that increase their household income. When linked with training and employment opportunities, the unemployed or underemployed in our area obtain skills that can foster a career – and ultimately, kickstart their economic security. Basic needs You can help people throughout our community become more self-sufficient. By getting easier access to affordable healthcare, stable housing and available food, neighbors of ours can overcome the stressful, daily challenges of meeting their basic needs.
