Investing in our Plan for Community Well-Being
The $17.3 million generously donated by our community in 2024 is already hard at work in our community!

In January, United Way’s Board of Directors approved how the dollars will be invested across our community. Investment recommendations were made by Community Solutions Teams and Vision Council volunteers after reviewing nonprofit proposals for services aligned to Plan for Community Well-Being strategies and goals, advancing solutions for our community’s greatest needs. The Board also approved donor designations to nonprofits of donors’ choice.
We’re proud to continue uplifting family well-being in holistic and multigenerational ways – focusing on investing in and leading impact in the areas of:
- Youth Opportunity – helping young people realize their full potential.
- Financial Security – building financial stability and strength.
- Healthy Community – improving health and well-being for all.
- Community Resiliency – addressing urgent needs today and advancing a better tomorrow.
While we’re so proud of what we’re able to accomplish through these investments, we acknowledge the needs far outweigh resources available. That’s why we’re calling on every Dane County resident to continue being one of the ones to change lives! Please visit our website to encourage your network to help, and make your 2025 donation today.
