United Way of the Columbia-Willamette

For over 100 years, United Way of the Columbia-Willamette has been working to meet the needs of vulnerable families in our region. No matter the crises, we have always remained steadfast in our commitment to close gaps and open opportunities for people in Clackamas, Clark, Multnomah and Washington counties. Our commitment to racial equity is the lens through which we center all of our work. Our impact is focused and guided by this commitment, because we recognize the insidious and prevailing existence of systemic racism and its constant and corrosive impact on our region and country. Through efforts in Early Learning, Disaster & Crisis Resiliency, Housing Stability and Volunteerism, we hope to begin the journey toward correcting this historic inequity and building a more equitable region for all. We are uniquely positioned in our region to bring people, community partners, foundations, businesses and government agencies together to build awareness of the challenges that systemic racism creates, focus on where the need is the greatest and scale what works to create sustainable impact.
