About Us...

Beaufort County United Way was founded in 1961.  We are a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide community-wide leadership to develop resources and assure their effective use for the delivery of needed human care services to the residents of Beaufort County.

Beaufort County United Way improves the quality of life within our community by providing a way to meet the needs of our residents.  We coordinate community outreach efforts by facilitating financial giving, promoting volunteerism and working with health and human services providers to make a difference in the lives of the children, families and senior citizens of Beaufort County.

Beaufort County United Way is an affiliate of United Way of America.  We are governed by a local Board of Directors made up of volunteers from the community who plan and organize the local fundraising campaign, collect contributions, determine how the United Way funds should be distributed to service providers and agencies, and monitor the agencies to ensure the integrity of your donor dollars.

The United Way Movement

The idea of the United Way was born in Denver in 1887 with a purpose of having a “unified” effort to raise funds once a year through workforce campaigns.  Today, it has grown into a national network of more than 1,300 locally governed organizations that work to create lasting positive changes in communities and people’s lives.

Building on more than a century of service as the nation’s preeminent community-based fundraiser, United Way engages the community to identify the underlying causes of the most significant local issues, develops strategies and pulls together financial and human resources to address them, and measures the results.

United Way of America is the national organization dedicated to leading the United Way movement. While local United Ways tackle issues based on local needs, common focus areas include helping children and youth succeed, improving access to health care, promoting self-sufficiency, and strengthening families.
