Our Work
Our Mission
The United Way of Pioneer Valley mobilizes people and resources to strengthen our communities.
Bringing Lasting, Positive Change to Our Region
United Way targets its strategies at those
critical passages in people's lives that
determine what the future will hold for them
as individuals and for their families and communities.
This approach maximizes United Way's
effectiveness, because it allows us to improve
lives not just in the short term, and not just
on the surface, but in a lasting and meaningful
way that benefits the entire region.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to have a good life; a
quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support
a family through retirement and good health. That's why United Way of
Pioneer Valley is focused on the building blocks of a good life.
2012 Indicators Report
UWPV report linking Community Indicators to UWPV funding initiatives. Read the Hampden County, South Hadley & Granby Community Indicators Report - 2012
United Way of Pioneer Valley is
focused on:
Education - Helping children and youth achieve their potential
Income - Promoting financial stability for individuals and families
Health - Reducing health risks
Basic/Emergency Needs - Helping individuals and families address basic needs
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a
time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all
connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in
school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy,
and when everyone can move away from crisis situations to meet their
own needs.
Our goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the
underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part
of the change.
