Public Policy

As a leading community impact organization, United Way knows that real and sustained change in community conditions requires more than financial resources. United Way engages decision-makers and policy leaders at the local, state and national levels to help address the most important community needs.

UWRI government relations and public policy actions are designed to create collaborative relationships between the United Way, its various community partners and stakeholders, and all levels of government. The intent of these relationships and partnerships is to develop and implement sound human service public policy, and educate and raise awareness of the general public.
