United Way of the Bay Area is a nonprofit organization that creates pathways to prosperity for the most vulnerable in our community by focusing on the essential building blocks of education, income and health. We help children achieve their potential, promote financial stability for low-wage workers and strive to improve health for everyone. Founded in 1922, UWBA serves the East Bay counties of Alameda and Contra Costa, as well as Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Solano Counties. Each year we raise more than $34 million to support community organizations. In addition to providing grants to more than 250 nonprofit programs, United Way convenes partners across sectors, advocates for policy change, and supports programs with partners, including the easy-to-remember 2-1-1 phone number that connects people to social services. UWBA also educates residents about the issues most vital to a resilient community. We produce reports and provide data on indicators, grantmaking, and local communities through the Data Central section of our website.
