United Way of Clallam County

Agency Funding: We partner with businesses, non-profits, governments, and individuals to raise funds supporting health and human service needs in our county. Voluntary board and community members determine the most critical and emerging needs. Funds raised are distributed to non-profit health and human service agencies as allocated by the board and directed by the donors. Funded agencies are required to document outcomes and are monitored by the United Way board.

Community Impact: To make a significant difference in our community, United Way engages in strategic community building. This work is called Community Impact.
