Program areas at UWECI

United Way of East Central Iowa (uweci) helps to fund nonprofit programs in their five-county area that support their strategic focus areas of building economic mobility, fostering childhood success, improving access to healthcare and supporting safety net services. Investments in these nonprofit partners are determined on a three-year cycle by the organization's solutions teams and accountability review team, which are made up of community-based volunteers.
Uweci is focused on connecting with the community to get involved via United Way through volunteering, investing and advocating efforts that align with their unite to inspire strategic focus areas. Their impact in the community includes connecting volunteers in rural areas through their volunteer centers throughout their five-county area, the vita (volunteer income tax assistance) program which provides free tax preparation to qualified individuals utilizing community volunteers, as well as advocacy work through their civic circle and women United leadership society as well as many other initiatives.
The human services campus, a disregarded entity of uweci, owns and operates a facility home to several local nonprofit agencies focused on providing health and human services. Nonprofit agencies housed in this 65,000-square-foot building serve thousands of clients making a daily impact within our five-county region of linn, benton, cedar, Iowa and jones counties that is well beyond the reach of just cedar rapids. The facility's conference and training rooms are available for community use, and the location is conveniently accessible by car, bicycle, on foot, or via public transportation. The goal of this shared facility is to provide low-cost leases to nonprofit agencies so that more resources can be spent on service delivery to client. This is achieved by renting out space to these agencies at 50% of the market rental rate.
