United, We Stand

​The United Way changes lives throughout Greene County by identifying community needs, supporting the services that meet those needs and providing results to our residents. These programs offer solutions to critical county issues, including supporting seniors, health and wellness, emergency assistance and investing in the education of our youth.

​In 2020, more than 16,500 people received services from Greene County United Way funded programs.

GCUW Community Impact Grants

Each year, Greene County United Way gets the honor of funding local organizations that offer important and necessary programs to our community.  In 2021, we are excited to award $40,000 in grants to 12 Greene County nonprofit agencies who provide services to over 36,000 people in our community.   

Greene County United Way's Community Impact Grants are different from the traditional fundraising model, in which the GCUW transitions from a mindset of "What we can do as a fundraising organization?" to "What can we do as a Community Problem Solver?"  Through this model, we are dedicated to making a difference in the community by identifying the top priorities to effect lasting change.
