OUR WORK

Square One Approach

United Way California Capital Region’s mission is to build stronger, healthier and more compassionate communities. We are dedicated to improving the lives of families and children in the Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties.

United Way’s mission is more important than ever.

The pandemic has weakened communities and exacerbated injustices. When it comes to healing our region, many people have no idea where to start.

Helping Kids Excel in School

Ending poverty starts in school, ensuring all students receive the support they need to graduate and succeed.  By intervening early, we can disrupt cycles of poverty and implement true systemic change.

Investing in Families

United Way has an established track record of providing direct financial empowerment to local families through programs including Free Tax Prep, Kindergarten to College and COVID-19 relief.

Creating Meaningful Partnerships

Bringing people together is what we do best. We partner with individuals, companies and nonprofits to impact our communities.
