Our Mission

The Tri-County Kentucky United Way mobilizes the caring power of our communities to improve the quality of life for all by supporting local health and human service programs and addressing local issues in Marion, Nelson and Washington Counties.
Picture

our vision

To improve the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community of Marion, Nelson, and Washington counties. We strive to ensure that everyone has the resources, supports, opportunities, and networks they need to thrive. 

What We Do

We support programs and discussions that provide the building blocks for a good quality of life and help to build stronger communities. The building blocks are:
  • Education: Offer a comprehensive approach to education that spans from cradle to career to help children and youth stay on track and succeed in school
  • Financial Stability: Assist and empower people to get on stable financial ground to help individuals and communities thrive and succeed
  • Health: Promote assistance to individuals suffering from issues such as substance abuse, physical and mental illness, aging, domestic violence, disability, or lack of health insurance

How We Do It

  • Organize fundraising campaigns in local companies, businesses, and with individuals, as well as a special event, to raise funds to support local programming
  • Participate in community organizations and groups to help to develop solutions for our communities’ problems
  • Advocate for key policy issues in our priority areas
  • Develop an understanding of community issues and help to lead discussions surrounding the solutions

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement

The Tri-County Kentucky United Way welcomes, understands, and respects the diversity of our clients, donors, staff, volunteers, and community partners. Our strength comes from our diversity, and we celebrate the uniqueness of individuals, the power of the collective good, and the importance of our communities.

We appreciate that every person brings a unique perspective and experience, as well as different attributes, characteristics, skills, qualifications, and attitudes, to advance our mission. We believe that bringing diverse individuals together allows us to collectively and more effectively address the issues facing our communities and create opportunities for a better life for all.

We recognize that in order to achieve our mission, we must continuously strive to be relevant and responsive to our community as a whole. We believe that every individual is worthy of dignity and respect, regardless of race, ethnicity, cultural, national origin, language, religion, physical, mental and/or developmental ability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, and/or veteran status.

We work to continually improve our understanding and application of inclusion and equity to address disparities in the communities that we serve alongside our partners and within our strategies and investments.

We firmly oppose all forms of racism, intolerance, discrimination, injustice, and exclusion of any kind.

We strive to ensure that everyone has the resources, supports, opportunities, and networks they need to thrive within our local communities.

Who We Are

Donors and Volunteers are the foundation of the United Way and help with our fundraising efforts, allocations process, and special events.
