This is Your New United Way
United Way has served communities for more than 100 years and the United Way of LaPorte County has served locally as a leader in LaPorte County by establishing deep roots, developing strong relationships, and bringing partners together to fight our community's critical issues.
In 2008, United Way addressed the changing social landscape across the nation and narrowed its focus to the three areas most essential to the wellbeing of a diverse population – health, education, and financial stability.
In 2013, United Way of LaPorte County piloted a new process, called collective impact, based on an integrated and collaborative structure that coordinates community-based health and human service efforts to advocate with a common agenda, pool resources, standardize measurement, share results, and avoid duplication.
