United Way of Bucks County

Community & agency services: resources are directed to the planning and coordination of services that support individuals and nonprofits. This includes advocacy, distribution of gifts in-kind, compiling and distributing community resource guides, volunteer recruitment and referral, and connecting businesses and groups with service projects and nonprofits that need help.

Community investments & nonprofit grants: these funds are distributed to and through nonprofit agencies and collaborative groups. Funds are aimed at helping people with short-term, basic needs (e.g. Shelter, transportation, child care, food, etc.) And creating lasting change. Funded programs focus on building financial self-sufficiency, improving family stability, creating access to early education, and improving people's health.

Community impact: these funds are invested in convening groups to help identify and target problems in the community. Funds help build collaborative efforts and improve the systems that serve our most vulnerable residents. Community impact partners include government, businesses, faith-based groups, educational organizations, nonprofits, and individuals.

Funds distribution: these funds are invested in human service planning, as well as allocating the dollars raised in the annual campaign. Funds are used to help identify the most effective and cost-effective human service solutions, build or vet program evaluation plans, and ensure a high and demonstrable return on investment for all funded programs.
