Endless Opportunities

This is our home For more than 60 years, United Way of Southwest Virginia has been working to support our community. Over time, as our home has changed, we have changed with it. Instead of funding solutions to treat symptoms, we research, test, and scale solutions that address root causes. Using a cradle-to-career framework, we focus on improving the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our region. With a support network covering over 20% of Virginia, we represent some of the most economically challenged communities in the Commonwealth. We believe that between problems and potential lies endless opportunities. We work across partisan and income divides, leading community

conversations and bringing people from all walks of life to the table. By partnering with our neighbors, we can keep our home one of the best places to live, work, and raise a family. Our region has a lot to offer, and a strong voice When looking at how to support our home and neighbors in Southwest Virginia, we listened. United Way of Southwest Virginia brought together community members, families, educators, and employers. We met with economic development professionals, government officials, and early childhood education providers. We listened and consulted with some of the brightest minds in our region. And then, we developed a plan.
