Organizational Overview
United Way of Greater Atlanta (UWGA) is in the midst of transformational change and is embarking on new ways to raise and earn revenue to accelerate and scale its mission to drive sustainable and equitable improvements in the well-being of children, families, and individuals in greater Atlanta. The mission remains the same: To bring together people and resources to drive sustainable and equitable improvements in the well-being of half a million lives across Greater Atlanta. The value proposition is to unite Greater Atlanta to create, amplify, and accelerate solutions that promote child well-being by addressing our communities’ most complex social challenges.
These solutions and the backbone behind them are all in service of the organization’s bold growth ambition: to triple unrestricted revenue by 2029 and become the best-in-class investor in child well-being in Greater Atlanta, ultimately eliminating the barriers of one’s zip code as a hindrance to future success. This transformation will unleash the next generation of UWGA, putting UWGA on a growth pathway that will significantly amplify its impact by increasing its investment in solutions that can make a lasting difference for Child Well-Being in Greater Atlanta.
