Every Dollar Matters

Every dollar matters.
United Way of Greater Greensboro is committed to the wise and efficient use of every dollar that is donated to us. United Way funds 66 programs and initiatives through 30 member agencies and partners. Each program and initiative must demonstrate that it meets a need in the community, makes an impact, and aligns with United Way’s objectives. Every funded program serves a need in our community and is evaluated throughout the year. We need your help to make Greater Greensboro safer, stronger, and healthier. And you can be assured, every dollar matters. Thank you!
