More than 125 years ago, the diverse community leaders who founded United Way crossed cultural, religious and economic boundaries to make a difference through collective action. Today, diversity and inclusion remain vital to achieving our mission, living our values and advancing the common good.

United Way of Columbia County provides opportunity to all individuals engaging the power of diverse talent and partners result in innovative solutions and the community ownership necessary to address complex community issues.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what is means to LIVE UNITED.
