Greensboro, NC – United Way of Greater Greensboro (UWGG) has announced over $4.9 million in strategic investments to support 45 local programs that are helping individuals and families on their pathways out of poverty. These investments, informed by data and community voice, reflect UWGG’s commitment to both immediate relief and long-term transformation.
Included in this total are direct grants to strategic partners, support for integrated service delivery models like Family Success Centers, and other community contracts and initiatives such as NC 2-1-1 information and referral services.
“Our strategic investments are rooted in data and community input to ensure that every dollar works toward the greatest impact,” said Frank McCain, President and CEO of UWGG. “We’re proud to work alongside our partners, investors, and volunteers to create a thriving community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.”
Since launching its Bold Goal in 2022 to move 3,000 households out of poverty by 2030, UWGG has already helped 683 households reach that milestone (as of March 31, 2025)—with more than 3,000 individuals served through its Family Success Centers alone.
