SCOPE and PURPOSE

United Way is one of the world’s largest privately funded non-government organisations (NGO) working in 40 countries and territories. With more than 125 years of global experience (over 50 years in Australia), United Way Australia’s (UWA) strategy is to build on its innovation to take the organisation’s Community Impact to scale across Australia. United Way Australia’s 2016-2020 Strategic Direction brings strong focus to our place-based work and defines our collaborative approach.
OUR VISION is that every Australian community thrives.
OUR PURPOSE is to unite community, business, philanthropy, government, and social purpose organisations in collaborative action to improve education, employment, health and housing outcomes in communities experiencing disadvantage.
WE BELIEVE that the postcode people are born in should not determine their destiny, that the causes of entrenched community disadvantage in Australia are complex and that no single organisation can solve these issues alone. We need to work together to achieve change.

Supporting the CPVM with a portfolio of partners, you will help deliver workplace giving, employee volunteering, advocacy initiatives, partnered projects and fundraising campaigns.
