Our Work

United Way of Escambia County is advancing the common good and creating opportunities for a good life for all by focusing on and measuring progress within specific community impact priorities.

Over 9,000 donors and almost 350 organizations participated in the 2010-2011 United Way Campaign. From cookouts to karaoke, the campaign was surrounded by enthusiasm. The generosity of donors and hard work of great volunteers made the campaign a success, exceeding the goal by 3%.
After the annual campaign, United Way of Escambia County uses the Funds Distribution Process to strategically invest campaign resources in high-performing local programs. The Funds Distribution Process allows United Way donors to voluntarily join program evaluation panels. Together the panelists make recommendations to United Way’s Board of Directors for how to distribute the undesignated contributions from the campaign.
The Board of Directors approved $1,104,979 to be distributed to 37 health and human service programs at 25 local non-profit partner agencies. The money is allocated to programs that have shown measurable outcomes and results within United Way’s three Community Impact Priorities:
