United Way of Central Carolinas is a local and regional partnership of volunteers, donors, staff, agencies and people served, that raises and distributes funds and strives to strengthen community capacity and individual ability to care for one another.

The nonprofit is an autonomous organization that supports agencies and other service providers that serve individuals in Anson, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg and Union counties and the Mooresville-Lake Norman area.

United Way of Central Carolinas is governed by a local board of directors made up of volunteers from these five communities. These volunteers, along with thousands of others, plan and organize the annual fundraising campaign, collect contributions, and determine how United Way’s Community Care Fund dollars should be distributed to service providers and agencies.
