WHAT WE DO
Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life – a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. United Way of Northeastern Minnesota’s mission is to unite and focus our communities in creating measurable results to improve people’s lives and strengthen our families. We take a community-level approach to improving lives. We begin by mobilizing the community – not only the financial resources of businesses and employees – but people, time, talent, relationships, and expertise to create lasting community changes that advance the common good. Through ongoing community building, we raise funds to provide impactful programs and to support the critical work of nonprofit agencies in the areas of Helping Children Succeed, Empowering Healthy Lives and Stabilizing Families and Individuals.
