United Way of Benton & Franklin Counties

**OUR MISSION** United Way of Benton Franklin Counties collaborates to support a foundation for the well-being, safety, and academic success of children, from birth to middle school. **OUR VISION** We envision a community where all children have an opportunity to learn and thrive – where barriers such as hunger, homelessness, abuse, and social status have been removed. **Integrity** We apply fairness and high ethical standards in stewarding the resources entrusted to us by our community. We intentionally approach our work with respect, compassion, and transparency. **Accountability** We identify local needs, create goals, measure results, report impact, and continually work to improve as we invest donors’ money wisely to address our region’s toughest challenges. **Community** We actively seek diverse perspectives, listen, convene experts, engage champions, and seek and apply innovative solutions to ensure a safe, healthy future for every child in our region. **Collaboration** We build partnerships that bring together individuals and organizations to address complex, local human problems.
