Partner Agencies

Partnering for Lasting Impact

Partner Agencies

The United Way’s partnership initiative is an integral component of our community impact model, which prioritizes youth opportunity, community resiliency, healthy communities, and financial security.

Every two years, agencies in Choctaw, Clarke, Mobile, and Washington counties have the opportunity to apply or reapply for partnership, aligning with our mission and objectives. Through collaboration with local health and human service organizations, UWSWA works to unite and mobilize resources, aiming to strengthen communities and implement sustainable solutions.

Approved agencies benefit from designated donations and participation in our annual allocations process, made possible by workplace giving campaigns involving over 400 local businesses, educational institutions, hospitals, and municipalities.
