OUR MISSION

United Way of Benton and Franklin Counties collaborates to support a foundation for the well-being, safety, and academic success of children, from birth to middle school.

OUR VISION

We envision a community where all children have an opportunity to learn and thrive – where barriers such as hunger, homelessness, abuse, and social status have been removed.

Integrity

We apply fairness and high ethical standards in stewarding the resources entrusted to us by our community.  We intentionally approach our work with respect, compassion, and transparency.

Accountability

We identify local needs, create goals, measure results, report impact, and continually work to improve as we invest donors’ money wisely to address our region’s toughest challenges.

Community

We actively seek diverse perspectives, listen, convene experts, engage champions, and seek and apply innovative solutions to ensure a safe, healthy future for every child in our region.

Collaboration

We build partnerships that bring together individuals and organizations to address complex, local human problems.
