United Way of Central Indiana designs, supports and grows systems that accelerate financial stability and upward mobility for individuals and families living in or near poverty and striving for a brighter future. Our vision is that Central Indiana will be a community where children, individuals and families thrive; neighbors care for each other; and we are proud of all our residents' quality of life. We accomplish our work through a comprehensive toolkit that includes advocating for public policies that support our strategies, capacity building to strengthen the human services sector, data & research to show real outcomes, grantmaking & community investments to support the success of organizations with "boots on the ground", initiatives & programs that compliment the work of our partners and thought leadership & convening across the sector.
