United Way Thomas Jefferson Area

Our United Way has been serving the needs of our local residents since 1943, when we were founded as the Charlottesville and Albemarle War and Community Fund by our local Chamber of Commerce. We have always sought to support our community in the best, most efficient way we know. We believe that because of our enduring strength and stability and the breadth of the needs we evaluate and address, our United Way is uniquely positioned to play a leadership role in our community.

By focusing our resources on specific, targeted issues, we can have the greatest return on investment for our donors who share our concerns, and the greatest impact in changing lives.

We have three goals and one bold vision: To strengthen our community by focusing on:

School Readiness, Self-Sufficiency and Community Health.
