United Way of Missoula County

United Way of Missoula County (UWMC) currently provides community grants to 33 different programs in our community. Our initiative areas focus on education, income, and health. Partner agencies are carefully screened to make sure that donors' dollars do what they intend them to do: provide food, shelter, help and hope to needy people in Missoula County.

UWMC invests in high-quality programs that produce measurable results; programs like Youth Homes, Watson Children's Shelter, Missoula Food Bank, the Poverello Center, the Parenting Place and the Flagship Program in the public schools. We also were the driving force behind the creation of 211, our community's human service referral line, where callers in need of help are referred to organizations and programs that can provide it. We understand and educate the community on key human-service issues like child neglect, homelessness, hunger, health care. We serve as a community trustee for donors interested in giving to an efficient, one-stop charitable entity in touch with Missoula County's health and human service needs, and we collaborate with diverse partners to create lasting improvements in community conditions.

In partnership with donors, funded agencies, and diverse partners throughout our community, United Way of Missoula County aspires for excellence in our day-to-day work as we strive to achieve our goals of community excellence, measurable impact and improved lives.
