Earlier this week, Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital kicked off their campaign in support of UWGC! We always love seeing what campaign theme they come up with, and this year didn't disappoint - "Olympians of Change - Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together." 🎖 Thank you for being a great partner to us and our community, and for being a steadfast supporter of our work!

Connecting our community, enabling individuals and families to achieve their potential. #ENVISION
About us
Our United Way has deep roots in this community. We envision a strong, healthy and vibrant community that helps people rise above challenges to reach their full potential. We focus on school readiness, financial stability, and connected community so that everyone can learn, grow, and live their best lives. Data highlights an unfortunate reality in Charlottesville: nearly 25% of the population lives in poverty, placing us near the bottom of localities across the US. Of even greater concern, Charlottesville’s poverty rate has not measurably improved in 10 years. We are excited to continue to work with individuals and community partners to identify issues and allocate resources in order to create positive and sustainable impact. United Way of Greater Charlottesville serves: The City of Charlottesville, and Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson counties in Virginia.

Last week, our summer #BofAStudentLeaders interns Nulia and Willa headed to DC for the Bank of America leadership summit as a part of their internship program! They spent their week meeting over 300 of the other interns from across the country, learning from leaders across industries, doing community service, and more! As always, thanks to Bank of America for being a long-time supporter of our work and letting us benefit from such a great program! We have about 1.5 weeks left with Willa and Nulia this summer and will surely miss them!
