Equity Statement
United Way believes that Equity is the just inclusion of everyone in society. Equity is achieved when race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and other identities no longer determine socioeconomic, education, and health outcomes. We recognize structural racism has contributed to the persistent disparities which UW seeks to dismantle. Our network strives to engage community residents to create solutions that ensure everyone has the resources, supports, opportunities and networks they need to thrive.
