Welcoming Clatsop and Tillamook Counties

United Way of Columbia County is proud to share an important milestone in our organization’s growth and regional impact.

As of December 31, United Way of Clatsop County has officially merged with United Way of Columbia County, expanding our service area to include Clatsop County alongside Columbia County. We are also pleased to formally welcome Tillamook County into our broader regional service area through strengthened partnerships and collaboration.

This expansion reflects a shared commitment to working together across county lines to address community needs more effectively, efficiently, and sustainably—especially in rural and coastal communities where collaboration is essential.

A Commitment to Local Impact

While our service area has grown, our values remain the same. Funds raised in each county will continue to be invested locally to support nonprofits, programs, and initiatives serving that county. Local giving supporting local impact remains a core United Way principle.

By aligning our organizations and partnerships, we are able to:

Strengthen regional collaboration and disaster response
Reduce administrative duplication
Increase capacity to support local nonprofits
Preserve community-driven decision-making at the county level

We are honored to welcome our partners, donors, volunteers, and community members in Clatsop and Tillamook Counties, and we look forward to building a stronger, more connected region together.

Thank you for being part of United Way’s mission to improve lives and strengthen communities—now across Columbia, Clatsop, and Tillamook Counties.
