collective impact

change doesn't happen alone.

  We harness the power of our collective impact to overcome the most complex issues facing our community.  We are on the ground in Cherokee, Spartanburg, and Union counties, partnering with nonprofits, businesses, and government to bring lasting change to our community.

what is collective impact?

We know that the biggest issues facing our community can’t be solved by one organization. That’s why United Way of the Piedmont brings together organizations from different sectors across our community to tackle challenges such as homelessness and behavioral health issues. 


Through the Collective Impact model, we and our partners share goals and data while supporting each of our unique roles within the community. Working together, we accomplish more than we ever could alone. 


Watch the video below to learn more about the Collective Impact model.

investing in Impactful local programs

Through our Community Investment Process, we make significant investments in local nonprofit programs that are moving the needle on increasing self-sufficiency.


Guided by our Community Impact Agenda, issue area experts serving on our Vision Councils assess programs we fund to ensure they are effectively addressing our community’s most pressing concerns: economic mobility, access to healthcare, and educational opportunity.
