Fall is an exciting time for United Way of Treasure Valley! This is our major fundraising season where we are gearing up to fund next year’s biggest needs in our community.
But what are the needs in our community and how do we know about them? You may be surprised to know that United Way keeps our finger on the pulse in a big way in that department. Every three years, we conduct a deep and wide assessment; the Community Assessment, in which we collect and crunch a huge amount of data to determine the Treasure Valley’s greatest needs.
Next year, we will be funding 34 programs across 27 organizations. Some of those programs include:
Suicide Prevention
Crisis Intervention and Prevention
Shelter for victims of domestic violence
Homeless services
Behavioral Health services
Medical, Dental, and Mental Health for the underserved
Mobile Dentistry
Mentoring
Education and Career Development
Family Literacy
Childhood Development
School Pantries
Foodservice Training and Development
Emergency Rental and Housing Assistance
So when you’re considering a charitable donation or wondering how you can make the most impact with your charitable dollars, you can know that United Way’s Community Fund is absolutely the answer. On your own, you might be able to do a little, but when you pool your money with your colleague’s money, your neighbor’s money, and our money, you can do more than you ever thought possible.
