United Way of Long Island develops programs and funds community partners. Together, we invest in education to ensure children succeed in school and achieve their potential. We help families become financially stable and independent. And, we ensure our communities have access to healthcare, food, and positive lifestyle choices. Our leadership team, supported by a high-profile Board of Directors, bring together partners and volunteers from across Long Island to discuss issues, raise funds and develop programs for the three key building blocks of a good life.
United Way of Long Island holds a 4-star (highest) rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest evaluator of charities, and is a GuideStar platinum-rated charity. 86 cents of every dollar we collect directly supports programs.
