A Collective Approach To Community Problem Solving

“To give away money is an easy matter, and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man’s power-nor an easy matter.” - Aristotle

Our mission is to increase the organized capacity of our community to care for its people. We understand no single organization can solve complex community problems.

The United Way and the Community Foundation are innovating the way people, nonprofits, community leaders, and governments work together to create long-term solutions in Volusia and Flagler counties.
