United Way of the Bay Area

Funding for private, voluntary, nonprofit service agencies.

Description:

Partners with contributors to build healthy and safe communities by identifying, evaluating and communicating community needs, raising financial and voluntary resources, partnering with donors, allocating resources through grants and donor designations, assuring standards of excellence in managing donor funds, and conducting community problem-solving and planning efforts. San Mateo County staff and volunteers work with local employers to help them conduct community-giving campaigns. The United Way also accepts contributions by individuals outside of the workplace. Donations can be designated to specific agencies or to areas of need, including the Bay Area Community Fund. The United Way also conducts community activities including Week of Caring, HomePage for the Holidays, Bridging Communities, and three issue areas: children and youth, families, neighborhoods and community, leadership giving events and volunteer recognition events. The Bay Area Community Fund, sponsored by United Way, invests in community programs that best demonstrate an ability to achieve impact on one or more of the priority outcomes. The United Way also provides opportunities for volunteer participation through a number of committees.
