Our Work

What We Do

Advancing the Common Good

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.

That's why United Way's work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:

• Education - Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential

• Income - Promoting Financial Stability and Independence

• Health - Improving People's Health

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.

United Way of Indian River County runs an annual campaign, coordinates a Community Investment Process, manages a Foundation, provides emergency and special project grants, coordinates volunteer run programs, and runs the United Way Center which houses our Community Room, Board Room and a non-profit incubation center. In addition, our staff sit on over 21 community committees.

Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.
