The Guide to United Giving is a comprehensive engagement tool that features local programs, initiatives and development efforts. It offers individuals and corporations the chance to understand and assess the numerous opportunities to expand partnerships, address the needs in the community, and create a larger impact through their commitment to supporting Palm Beach County.
In keeping with United Way’s mission of ensuring that everyone in Palm Beach County has access to the basics—a quality education, a place to live, financial stability, good medical care and enough to eat—the guide serves as a rich resource of more than 110 local programs and initiatives addressing these vital needs under the following categories: Empowering Healthy Lives; Stabilizing Families; Helping Youth Succeed; and MISSION UNITED (focused solely on assisting our military veterans).
“The Guide to United Giving is more than just a resource; it’s a call to action. It empowers individuals and businesses to connect with programs that make a real difference, ensuring that everyone in our community has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we can build a stronger Palm Beach County.”
