Leading the Way
The United Way of Danville-Pittsylvania County (UWDPC) works to advance the common good. This means creating opportunities for a better life for all. This is accomplished through our funding of programs and initiatives provided by supported agencies, participation in collaborative efforts, and involving our community in solutions that benefit all of us. When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. Our leadership understands that we all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable and when people have good health. These results and changes have benefits that ripple out to the community.
For more than 100 years, UWDPC has held a reputation as the community's fundraiser, but United Way doesn't just raise money. Today's United Way is a focused, result-driven system working year-round to change community conditions and create lasting solutions. Much like a "general contractor" manages all aspects of constructing a building, UWDPC manages people and resources to create lasting, positive solutions in lives that need it most. Through strong partnerships with volunteers, local businesses, government and nonprofit organizations, UWDPC accomplishes what no one can do alone.
