The United Way Network plays a vital role in advancing opportunity, strengthening democracy, and mobilizing the caring power of communities for the common good. As organizations with extensive community impact experience, the work and perspective of local United Ways is deeply valuable to policymakers who are shaping our laws, policies, and governmental systems.
The Public Policy team leads United Way Worldwide’s Federal policy and advocacy efforts and supports the United Way Network in its policy engagement at the local, state, and national levels. We work closely with the Network to leverage the collective power, voice, and impact of the 900+ United Ways around the country to promote equitable public policies that create lasting community change.
