United Way of Utah County

United Way - 1971 Formerly known as the United Fund, this newspaper clipping highlights one of United Way’s foundational purposes: to streamline and unite philanthropic efforts in Utah County. Before United Way, our county’s charitable efforts were relatively disorganized. Nonprofits stood separate from each other, services were duplicated, and resources were not widely shared. Businesses were pressed to find guidance as to where their donation was most needed and which volunteer opportunities were available. Nonprofits had minimal connections to local companies, as most companies do not have time to hear petitions from dozens of different charities. By serving as a united voice for local nonprofits, United Way is able to streamline communication to local businesses, informing them of what is most needed in the county, and provides a simple way for them to designate their donation to various causes. Our nonprofit partners are better connected to organizations that want to donate and volunteer. Resources and expertise are shared, resulting in better quality services for the community and more efficient use of donor dollars. It was true in 1971 and it is true now: we are better together when we live united! #liveunited #bettertogether #partneragencies #corporatepartners #unitedfund #unitedway #utahcounty

Yesterday, as part of Brigham Young University's annual giving campaign, the Athletics department came together for an incredible day of service! 💪 Volunteers rolled up their sleeves at Westmore Elementary School, repainting playground games and bringing new life to the school's outdoor spaces. Other groups headed to Community Action's gardens where they built sheds, weeded, and helped maintain the community's garden plots. It's amazing to see what we can accomplish when we unite together for a cause bigger than ourselves. So proud we can be a part of a community that prioritizes giving back! Go Cougs! 💙 🤙

Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions (RMU) partnered with United Way of Utah County to host a health fair at the South Franklin United Way Center. Held annually, the event offers free health screenings to underserved families. RMU students, under professional supervision, provided screenings for blood pressure, vision, hearing, and more. United Way thanks RMU for its role in bringing these vital services to the community, helping improve access to care for many local residents.

A special shoutout to Duncan Aviation for kicking off their giving campaign with a bang and to Texas Instruments for teeing up a successful golf tournament fundraiser!! 🎉You all know how to mix fun with a purpose, and we're so lucky to have such amazing partners! ❤️ The energy, enthusiasm, and commitment we have from our community partners is contagious!

Let's keep the momentum going! 🚀 🌟 #UnitedWayofUtahCounty #DuncanAviation #TexasInstruments #LiveUnited #Personaldevelopment #Fundraising #Future #CommunityImpact
