Guidelines

United Way of New York City creates and supports strategic initiatives that address the root causes of critical human care problems in order to achieve measurable improvement in the lives of the city's most vulnerable residents and communities.

Guidelines

Throughout our work, we partner with neighborhood agencies, government, business, foundations, volunteers and others so that collectively we can achieve more than any one organization working alone.

Despite the very best efforts of thousands of hard working social service agencies, many New Yorkers still don't have better opportunities to learn, work, grow and be successful in life.

Guidelines

Today's United Way believes that the key to change -- true systemic change -- is getting to the underlying source of a problem.

As such our programs are not quick fixes that just address symptoms, but rather preventative in nature.
