United Way of Delaware

Founded in 1946, United Way of Delaware (UWDE) works to advance the common good by focusing on the three strategic areas: Early Education, College and Career Readiness, and Financial Stability. UWDE is engaged in long-term programs designed to eliminate the root causes of Delaware’s most pressing social problems in New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties. UWDE works collectively with business, government, social service agencies, academic groups, community organizations and concerned individuals to establish positive, long-lasting solutions for today and into the future.

United Way of Delaware brings together people and resources to tackle complex issues and drive sustainable positive change in order to help our communities thrive. Improving individual lives and entire communities in our state is our approach. We focus on Early Education, College Career Readiness, along with Financial Stability because too many children are in poverty and too many families are in crisis.

 For individuals and organizations that want to help advance the strength of their community , United Way is the platform. We enable  individuals, groups and companies to make a difference (individually and collectively) in whatever way they wish to contribute their time, talent and treasure.
