HOW MITCHELL UNITED WAY IMPACTS OUR REGION
WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A STRONGER REGION A strong community has many components that each play an important role. To build a stronger community, we believe our region must have high-performing nonprofit organizations, a desire for collaboration around needs and solutions, a focus on racial equity, and strong outcomes for programs serving people. A STRONG SAFETY NET OF HEALTHY NONPROFITS IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR REGION’S SUCCESS We understand the breadth, depth and complexity of the needs across our region. That’s why we believe in a safety net approach to supporting the community. This approach includes investments into organizations providing food and shelter, fostering learning, establishing financial stability, improving health and strengthening communities. WE STRIVE FOR EQUITABLE, THRIVING COMMUNITIES Honoring the unique needs of each community we serve and recognizing the breadth and depth of services needed to meet those needs, our goal is to support equitable, thriving communities so that ultimately, every person in our region can live their best possible life. THE INTERCONNECTED NEEDS OF OUR REGION DRIVE US The needs we are addressing are vast. We can’t ensure all families have access to food and housing. And we can’t ensure people with disabilities have their needs met without a strong system of support. There is no one answer to helping people live their best possible lives but there are many solutions. We will fund safety net agencies that provide direct services to meet needs in our 9-county region, and make investments into collaborations and backbone organizations providing support around community needs. Additionally, as emergency or crisis support is needed in our community, Mitchell United Way will support programs and organizations meeting those needs through targeted fundraising and agency allocations.

Chairman Message
Each new day is a fresh start. A chance to accomplish what you couldn’t yesterday, and another opportunity to help someone else succeed. That’s the approach we take at the Mitchell United Way. Daybreak is hope.
We’re asking you to join us to support those in the community who may be struggling. Look for a way to lift someone up, and if that’s all you do, that’s enough. Because together we rise. Sincerely,
Board Of Directors
