Equity Statement

At United Way of Northeast Georgia, we believe a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion is essential to the success of our region. We all must do our part, working UNITED, to create a more equitable community and ensure that everyone has access to the resources, opportunities, and support they need to live and thrive.

Since 1954, United Way of Northeast Georgia has been making a difference in the lives of people in Northeast Georgia, but we know there is always more to learn about the communities we serve and how we can improve that service. For that reason, we believe it is critical to listen to, learn from, and collaborate with our staff, board members, volunteers, donors, and, most importantly, the people in the communities of Northeast Georgia.

With your continued support, we are committed to addressing our region’s challenges and inequities, healing our communities, and providing resources, opportunities, and support to all Northeast Georgians.
