United Way of Martin County

Our Mission

Provide leadership to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community

LIVE UNITED and Advancing the Common Good

United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life: Quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

United Way’s goal is to advance the common good and create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of problems.

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.

We encourage all people in the community to live the United Way. Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.

Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.

Our Vision and Strategy

The United Way will be a leader in collaborating and building relationships with people in private, public and non-profit sectors to address Martin County's most urgent human care needs.

We will measure our success by how well we impact the quality of life in our community.

We will be a market-driven organization with the donor/investor as our primary customer and community impact as our business model.

We will serve donors/investors by providing them a way to do more for the community through the United Way than they can do alone.

We will identify and prioritize the community's most urgent human care needs in consultation with our community partners.

We will develop United Way and community strategies that focus and leverage United Way resources to effect optimal, consistent and measurable improvement in those priority needs.
