What IS the United Way of Lamoille County (UWLC)?
The United Way of Lamoille County is a non-profit organization providing support services to the community. We work to improve the lives of local residents by raising funds for other local non-profits and, when necessary, developing and operating our own programs when a need is identified. We work with local partners to make lasting community changes by finding solutions to existing problems. UWLC is governed by a LOCAL, volunteer Board of Directors, who ensure that the organization is run efficiently and effectively. 100% of all donations stay right here in Lamoille County.

Is UWLC a National or Local Organization?
LOCAL!!! UWLC is a separate and autonomous organization from United Way Worldwide (UWW). We pay 1% of our annual campaign in dues to UWW, but these dues do not come from donations. Payment of dues comes from interest earned on our accounts and fees earned through grant writing and administrative services. Membership in UWW provides us with important cost-saving measures such as payment to attend out-of-state conferences, staff training, community research information, campaign products, free NFL advertising and ongoing consultation.

Priority is given to programs that empower people and lead them down a path of self-sufficiency.

Is my UWLC Contribution Tax Deductible?
