United Way of Santa Barbara County (UWSBC) has the unique and positive vision that "in our community, everyone has a hopeful future." UWSBC has served the local community since 1923 and through our Power of Partnership^TM, we improve lives of children, families, and seniors through connecting and empowering resources. UWSBC is not merely a fundraising agent, but rather acts as a unifying force, working to support nonprofits and include workplaces as they seek to effectively help the community. Through funding over 80 local nonprofits and enacting our own unique initiatives such as Fun in the Sun (a summer enrichment program for poverty level and homeless children) UWSBC seeks to find lasting, meaningful solutions rather than cosmetic solutions to community problems.

Through strategic planning and community involvement, UWSBC's core values have been specifically articulated over the past year. These core values are the center of our organization as we seek to serve this community to the best of our ability. We are caring- we are committed to people helping people every day... one generation voluntarily and compassionately paving the way for future generations. We are innovative- using the Power of Partnership^TM; we connect strengths, multiply resources, and create the best ways to make measurable improvements in local lives. We are trustworthy- we are the finest stewards of your donated time, ideas, and money. We value leadership- we initiate, influence, and support desired positive changes in our neighborhoods and communities.

UWSBC is focused on developing four key areas: successful children and teens, strong families, vital and independent seniors, and a better community. United with community leaders, volunteers, nonprofits and businesses, we can provide a helpful future for everyone in Santa Barbara County.
