About

United Way Fresno and Madera Counties (UWFM) brings resources together to address the most urgent issues the community faces. Through unique partnerships and approaches, UWFM mobilizes resources beyond the dollars that are pledged through their fund-raising efforts.

Mission

United Way operates on the concept of Living United - the idea that the advancement of the common good can benefit the entire community. Their work isn't just putting bandages on major systemic problems; it involves individualized, long-term solutions that effectively lift working class families out of poverty and despair.. They believe that when you extend a helping hand to influence, strengthen, and bolster the health and stability of your local neighborhoods, that support trickles out and ultimately helps everyone.
