Our Impact

Our Impact Framework

United Way closes gaps and opens opportunities so that every resident in Lincoln and Lancaster County has the opportunity to thrive.

Healthy Community:

Improving health and wellbeing for all

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. United Way helps our neighbors overcome barriers to good health by advancing maternal and child health, as well as substance use prevention and recovery.

Youth Opportunity:

Helping young people realize their full potential

Every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive. United Way helps children and youth along a path to success by breaking down barriers to learning and well-being. Supporting students through early childhood education, enrichment opportunities like afterschool and summer programs, and youth behavioral health provides the foundation needed to prosper.

Financial Security:

Creating a stronger financial future for every generation

Everyone deserves the opportunity to earn a living that can sustain a family and build financial security for future generations. United Way helps hard working families connect to the tools that create economic mobility: adult literacy, job training and career pathways, financial coaching, and homeownership.

Community Resiliency:

Addressing urgent needs today for a better tomorrow

Everyone deserves access to support during a time of crisis. United Way works alongside our neighbors to build long-term resilience by meeting a wide range of immediate needs through homelessness prevention, emergency shelter, food access, safety for victims of abuse, and rental and housing assistance.
