How our values drive our work

Our UWSCMI Values
The values that we hold at UWSCMI are fundamental to who we are and what we do. These are the things that drive us in our daily work, that define how we partner with our communities, that motivate us to pursue our mission.
Values must be more than words or turns of phrase.. That’s why our United Way firmly commits to holding ourselves accountable to these values. We expect our communities to hold us accountable, too.
  • Equity: Applying principles of diversity, inclusivity, justice, antiracism, empathy and trust to every facet of our work and our culture, with a firm commitment to historically underrepresented and marginalized people.
  • Community: Solving the toughest social issues that affect local individuals and families, changing lives and strengthening our region in the process.
  • Integrity: Pursuing our work with transparency, accountability and dignity, constantly learning and adapting to the changing needs of our communities.
  • Compassion: Caring passionately for the people we serve, the colleagues we work alongside, and the communities we strive to improve.
  • Collaboration: Working hand-in-hand with communities and partners to honor their voices, build trust, increase impact, and grow diversity in ideas and representation throughout our shared efforts.
  • Results: Driving impact through innovation, creativity and leadership that brings new ideas, new resources, and equitable, lasting solutions.
