Diversity Statement

United Way brings the whole community together to address complex issues that affect every resident. Only when every person is included and every voice represented will meaningful change happen. This core mission is what leads United Way of Lincoln and Lancaster County staff, board and volunteers to embrace diversity and inclusion as critical success factors in achieving our goals. This is a business imperative that is required for United Way to grow, thrive and advance the common good in our community.

United Way recognizes and values the differences among our community members and encourages mutual respect and understanding among all people. United Way believes in the accessibility and affordability of human services for all people. United Way will operate without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation or gender identity), national origin, age, disability, genetic information (including family medical history); or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law. United Way believes this commitment to be its responsibility as a professional organization which plays an integral leadership role in the economy and future of this city and county.
