United Way of Greenville County

Vision | A Greenville County where all people have access to the opportunities to achieve their full potential.

Mission | We mobilize people and resources to improve lives, strengthen the community and advance equity for the benefit of all.

• About Us
  We’re in this together. We all want Greenville County to be a thriving community where everyone can have a safe, stable and successful life. To this end, United Way brings together a diverse group of people, businesses and organizations around a shared desire to make Greenville County a place where everyone has the opportunities and resources to reach their full potential. Providing people with the tools and support to thrive at every stage of life creates a better community for all of us.
  
  Together, we’re doing something different. We’re focused on creating real solutions, not quick fixes or Band-Aids. We will always need those programs that provide basic needs and emergency assistance, but we are also looking at the big picture by leading and supporting programs and initiatives that have an enduring impact in improving school readiness, high school graduation and financial stability. It’s only by focusing on holistic solutions to these complex problems that we can achieve the generational community change we all want.
