United Way of the Lowcountry

Our mission is to mobilize resources to solve human problems. In order to do that, we aim to be the leading force for social change to improve basic needs, education, health, and economic mobility – the building blocks for a successful life.

We’re not alone. Our focus on these priority areas were reinforced by the feedback we received from YOU, the community, through our open community conversations.

Through our direct services and our support to local non-profit agencies, we work to ensure sure people get the support services they need right now, while simultaneously addressing the root causes of key issues – that’s how we create true community impact.

United Way has been working hard in the Lowcountry for more than 60 years. We know that by improving education for all children, we’re setting them on the path to high school graduation and college success. We know that those children will go on to hold skilled jobs and be financially equipped to support their families. We know that good health is directly linked to a successful life.

Most importantly, we realize that when we make sure a family’s basic needs are met, and when we improve education, income and health at a community level, we all benefit.
