Cedar Valley United Way
Build a Brighter Tomorrow
November 6 - November 10
Dear UNI Community,
Cedar Valley United Way is working to advance the common good in the Cedar Valley by focusing on the key areas of education, income and health. This year, United Way is supporting local programs with over $2.4 million in funding support.
As part of the Cedar Valley community, we want the University of Northern Iowa to be a leader in giving to build a caring, supportive community that lifts up the lives of its residents.
We believe in the United Way's intentional way of giving - and supporting 63 programs at 39 local, nonprofit organizations that are addressing the key issues identified in United Way's community needs assessment AND measuring the impact of those programs to ensure successful outcomes for our community and its residents.
UNIted, we are Champions for Change.
Faculty, staff, and emeritus faculty
are invited to give to the United Way.
Why the United Way?
Cedar Valley United Way helps our neighbors, friends and coworkers live their best lives. They develop, support and invest in the most impactful strategies and partners to strengthen education, financial stability and healthy lifestyles - the building blocks of opportunity. Their investments of time and treasure are data-driven and aimed at root causes for long-term, measurable change.
For over 100 years, the Cedar Valley community has helped power Cedar Valley United Way’s ability to help those in need navigate everyday challenges. Cedar Valley United Way thinks about immediate needs and long-term solutions because they know thousands of people across the Cedar Valley are in need every day.
With your generous support, we will be ready to help struggling individuals and families in the Cedar Valley.

Leadership Giving
Leadership Givers possess a compassionate spirit and a desire to take action. The result of their investments is a caring community that is resilient in the face of change and responsive to new challenges.
Leadership Givers are recognized as community leaders who set the example for friends, peers, and other associates to follow. In this way, their community investment leverages other gifts, thus having an even better impact in the community. We invite you to consider giving at a leadership level.
