Mission

United Way Fresno and Madera Counties dismantles systemic barriers to prosperity through the creation and implementation of collaborative community solutions.

Vision

We envision a nation where things like race and ethnicity have no bearing on an individual’s access to education, wealth creation, or well-being.

Values

  • We work on issues that are bigger than any one organization, so we commit to building partnerships that are grounded in fierce solidarity, courageous vulnerability, and shared common goals.
  • We fight for those who need it most, especially Communities of Color who face longstanding disparities in access to health, educational, and financial security.
  • We believe that the work of equity is an active process, and we recognize that the daily and ongoing cycle of learning, unlearning, and growing ourselves is the only way to make space for new, bold, and radical possibilities.
  • We treat all people with dignity, including team members, clients, community partners, and even those who might not yet understand the vital importance of equity work.
