“Mission- mobilizing our community to improve lives. Vision- united way will add value to the greater lafayette community by enabling people to help one another. It will provide leadership in defining community needs and in coordinating resources to address community issues. Our goal- every person succeeding in greater lafayette the united way of greater lafayette leads the community to empower every person to discover and pursue their path to success. We do this by aligning resources along the cradle to career commitment. We bring people, organizations and community resources together to deliver results in the areas of education, financial stability, and health. Through the cradle to career commitment, we want to ensure that quality pre-natal care is available to expecting mothers, that children receive quality early learning (including preschool and pre-k) opportunities and that they are prepared to start school. Once in school we want children to meet 3rd grade reading goals, make successful transitions in middle school and graduate high school with the ultimate goal of being prepared for a career and financial stability. Being successful and financially stable will strengthen families and help improve the lives of the next generation of children. At the same time, we know that we can not improve the lives of children and ignore their parents and the day to day challenges that families face. For this reason, we continue to support basic services around food insecurity, shelter (homelessness and related issues), crisis (home fires, tornadoes, etc.) and health concerns including mental health and substance use disorder. Our goal is to provide help today that builds a brighter future for individuals and families in our community. Our work is accomplished through many partnerships and programs. In addition to the community partners that we fund, united way also delivers programs like kindergarten countdown camp which helps students enter kindergarten ready and read to succeed that connects 200 volunteers to our 20 elementary schools to focus on helping students achieve 3rd grade reading levels. In the area of financial stability, united way manages a volunteer income tax assistance program that helps low to moderate income individuals and families prepare their tax returns free of charge and ensure an accurate application of appropriate deductions. Additionally, united way of greater lafayette participates, facilitates and often leads community coalitions like healthy active tippecanoe and the mental healthcare forum. The goal of these coalitions is to find solutions to the community's greatest challenges through a collaboration of organizations. United way's role is to look across all sectors and providers to find community-wide solutions to some of our greatest social challenges. United way of greater lafayette's annual report and other significant data are available at www.uwlafayette.org.”
