Funded Partner Agencies
United Way of Delaware County Ohio touches the lives of one in three Delaware County residents. The programs we support help improve lifelong learning, stability and health/wellness in our community.
Your dollars go to work in agencies carefully chosen for their ability to meet desired outcomes that match our community's greatest needs.
The Strengthening Families Initiative, a United Way of Delaware County (UWDC) Collective Impact model, coordinates cross-sector partnerships, shared goals, and data-driven results. Strengthening Families demonstrates collaboration, coordination and capacity building among 50+ organizations centered around agreed upon strategies and goals. Strengthening Families partners meet quarterly to coordinate planning and program needs and workgroups meet monthly to provide progress toward achieving specific strategic outcomes.
