United Way of Eagle River Valley
Mission Statement
United Way envisions a world where all individuals and families achieve their human potential through education, income stability and healthy lives.
United Way improves lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good.
United Way of Eagle River Valley brings this vision and mission to our small community by providing valuable grant resources to over 25 hard-working non-profit organizations in Eagle County.
The United Way, has raised over $1,500,000, right here in Eagle County, during the past 14 years. These funds have been granted only to local non-profit agencies that directly support the needs of our community, in the much needed areas of economic relief, access to health care, education and cultural integration. Without the United Way grants, those agencies would be unable to provide some of the many valuable services to the people of our valley. Equally as important is the fact that a grant from the United Way, for many of our smaller non-profits, is critical to their success in receiving other national, state and federal grants.
With donations shrinking, both locally and nationally, it is vital for agencies to seek as many grant sources as possible in order to survive. The United Way not only puts dollars directly into their programs but also enhances their additional grant opportunities.
The United Way Volunteer Board of Directors, has a rigorous grant approval process that ensures the dollars raised are put toward the greatest community needs. All of the money raised in Eagle County stays in Eagle County.
Your one single donation can help over 25 local agencies serve tens of thousands!
Please consider the United Way of Eagle River Valley for your tax deductible contribution this year. Your generous donation is a powerful way to support those who support our community.
