Day 1: The Dream of Equity

His words remind us that the pursuit of equity requires a shared vision and commitment to building a society that uplifts everyone. As you watch his speech today, reflect on the meaning of his dream in the context of today’s challenges and consider how you can carry his vision forward in your own life.

OUR MISSION

United Way of Forsyth County brings the community and its resources together to solve problems that no one organization can address alone.

​

In collaboration with our partners and community leaders, we identify our community’s most pressing needs. The money we raise is used to address the root causes of those problems through strategic investments and partnerships that achieve measurable, lasting results.

​

The most significant problems in our community are interconnected and complex. They require a coordinated approach by many different organizations to solve. UWFC and volunteers on the impact council are uniquely positioned to understand the needs in the community and how proposals from our partners will address these needs. We hold our partners and ourselves accountable for the money we invest in every program.

​

UWFC is working to create a thriving community by investing in neighborhoods and households with a specific focus on creating equitable communities, improving economic mobility, and ensuring childhood and student success. UWFC invests in over 60 programs and initiatives with more than 40 local partner nonprofit organizations.

EQUITY STATEMENT

United Way of Forsyth County recognizes that current and historical forms of oppression (racism, sexism, ageism, poverty, etc.) contribute to persistent disparities that the United Way seeks to counter. As an organization supported and directed by a diverse population, we strive to engage community members, especially those whose voices have traditionally been marginalized. We work with community members, public partners, and private organizations to co-create positive solutions that ensure everyone has the resources, support, opportunities, networks, and connections needed to thrive. We commit to leveraging all our assets (convening, strategic investments, awareness, building, advocacy, and other assets) to create more equitable communities.
