Fighting For All.
FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS.
At United Way of Delaware, we’re focused on one thing: to make the greatest impact where it’s needed most. And we never work alone. We collaborate with community-based organizations, caring corporations, passionate volunteers, and generous donors to maximize all our resources for good. Because of them, we can tackle the most pressing issues facing people in Delaware and Salem County (NJ).
Early Education Success
Our goal is to ensure all children read on grade level by 3rd grade. That way, all students have the opportunities to succeed, no matter who they are or where they live.
Career & College Success
Our children deserve every chance to be successful. That's why we work with our partners to equip students with the skills they'll need to excel in college and the workforce.
Financial Empowerment
Communities are safer when neighbors aren't struggling to survive. We help people get better-paying jobs and access to financial tools. When people reduce debt and increased savings, they can build for a better future.
Racial Equity & Social Justice
Racially charged policies limit opportunities for people of color. At UWDE, we work to dismantle policies that lead to unfair suffering for communities of color, and advocate for new ones that promote fairness and equity.
