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.

Happy birthday to our Strategy and Program Assistant, Dabney!! 🥳 Dabney not only helps manage some of our programs including small business grants, but he is also one of our unofficial IT gurus, handymen, and all-around office helper. If you couldn't tell, Dabney is always willing to help out, even if it isn't in his job description. Plus, he always does it with a smile and sometimes without anyone even having to ask. We appreciate all that you do for UWGC, Dabney, and the positivity and warmth you bring to our team! Please join us in wishing Dabney an outstanding birthday! 🍰

Happy birthday to our Chief Financial Officer, Lisa!! 🥳 Lisa is a huge part of our success but never wants the spotlight! She works hard to make sure we are able to run all of our important programs and services, and more, like a well-oiled machine. Without her, we would not be able to help as many local families thrive as we are able to now. We thank you so much for your care and expertise, Lisa! Have an amazing birthday, Lisa! 🍰
