United Way of Salt Lake

ABOUT UNITED WAY OF SALT LAKE FOR OVER 100 YEARS United Way of Salt Lake has served and strengthened the greater Salt Lake community. Established in 1904 as the Salt Lake Charity Association, its original mission was to help the poor, discourage panhandling, and coordinate various programs. The historic "community chest" with a broad charitable mission has transformed into an agent for social change. Today, United Way of Salt Lake is pursuing lasting social change on some of the toughest challenges we face, including poverty, poor health and lagging educational achievement. OUR IMPACT Our goals go way beyond short-term charity for a few. Our measures of success show impact for entire schools and entire communities. Lasting change starts by building powerful partnerships around shared goals that impact every child and every family in our community.
