United Is The Way: How We Work Together

United Way of the Coastal Bend recognizes that when we all work together we can achieve amazing things

We actively seek individuals with many backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking. These collaborations help us all collectively and more effectively address the issues facing our communities.

Our core values also ensure everyone has access to opportunities for a healthy and safe life. We recognize that advantages and barriers exist, and that, as a result, we all don’t start from the same place.

We place a priority on support for vulnerable populations with our investments and our partnerships. This commitment includes the active, intentional and ongoing engagement with diverse populations that ensures all people are welcomed, valued and heard. We strive to maintain a collaborative, supportive, and respectful environment that increases the participation and contribution of all.

Through partnerships with nonprofits, donors, local government, businesses, community advocates and volunteers, we are building a just and fair community in which all can participate, prosper and reach their full potential.

The United Way of the Coastal Bend Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and community partners must always reflect and genuinely demonstrate these values at the heart of what it means to LIVE UNITED.
