Giving Tuesday Update . . .
We’re thrilled to share that, by the end of Giving Tuesday, we raised an incredible $8,890! With the addition of our generous $7,500 matching gift from Values & Vision, that brings our total to $16,390.
Let’s keep the momentum going as we work toward a thriving United Way!
Our goal is to raise $100,000 by May to fund Community Grants that support
12 vital Community Partners providing essential services across the Palouse.
​​The United Way of Whitman County provides non-restricted funding, allowing partner agencies to provide essential services that they would not be able to give otherwise due to gaps from other funding sources. All presenting agencies voiced concerns over inflation significantly impacting people's ability to stay afloat. The underlying theme for most of the grant requests included the need for applying agencies to improve their availability of food to meet a sharp increase in requests.
​
The United Way of Whitman County mobilizes communities to action so all can thrive.

For over 95 years, UWWC has networked with non-profits, businesses, government entities, and service organizations to address complex community challenges. We have financially supported local non-profits and collaborated to co-create solutions to people's most pressing challenges. We take a comprehensive approach, listening, and responding to local needs, and together create pathways to better education, access to services leading to increased health, and fuel financial stability primarily through addressing food insecurity and rental assistance. We also support projects that help elderly and disabled individuals safely remain in their homes longer, and access social and practical needs.

We are committed to:
• Youth Opportunity • Advancing Health
• Financial Security • Community Resiliency
