Programs (FY 2023)

What They Do

$1.3M in expenses

United way of the ozarks supports a community safety net of services focused on helping individuals and families and impacting the cycle of poverty. This safety net includes 21 programs hosted by our 14 partner organizations in 14 counties in southwest missouri. Programs are organized around issues of championing children and pathways out of poverty and focus both on strategies to create financial stability and self-sustaining individuals and families. Through the community investment program, united way volunteers participate in training to learn the critical issues facing the community as agreed upon by several community collaboratives; review information presented by community organizations; then direct funds for greatest impact.

$144K in expenses

United way of the ozarks supported many initiatives. These initiatives include the cancer initiative in partnership with community partnership of the ozarks; veteran's assistance initiative in partnership with the american red cross; and 2-1-1.
