because every community deserves the opportunity to prosper.

At Capital Area United Way, we work with our neighbors to build resilient communities that are ready for any challenge. We strengthen our community’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from any challenge they may face.

Whether our area is affected by natural disaster, a disruption in the economy, or housing crises, CAUW envisions a community where we can pivot and mobilize immediately - having boots on the ground to meet any need the moment it happens.

How Are We Leading The Way in community resiliency?

United Way 211/CAUW
A 24/7 information and referral hotline that acts as a mediator for callers in need of assistance. Cases are received via call center and are helped by tapping into the vast United Way network of nonprofit partners. 

From disaster support to our in-depth Care Coordination program, 211 exists as a number you can call when you need help, but you don't know where to look. With 211, we can help get you there. For more information on 211, click here.
