Fostering Inclusion
United Way of Franklin County (UWFC) is committed to improving quality of lives for ALL in our communities.
Holding true to our organization’s vision and values, we mobilize in pursuit of a respectful, opportunity-filled community for all. We invite you to reach out to get involved in our work, share your voice and your talents.
Statement of Inclusion
We take the broadest possible view of inclusion. Inclusion means every person who earnestly desires to work with us to positively move the community forward is welcome. We recognize your humanity and dignity, first and foremost. We value the visible and invisible qualities that make you who you are.
We welcome that every person brings a unique perspective and experience to advance our mission and vision for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community.
We believe that each United Way community member, donor, volunteer, advocate, and employee play a role in solving community problems.
You are invited to join our work. You are invited to LIVE UNITED.
Defining Equity
Equitable treatment is the foundation of our work, from our engagement with donors to our investment of community resources to our interactions with the public. Equity is defined as the presence of just, fair, and impartial consideration within the procedures, processes, and distribution of resources entrusted to our organization. We work to create a thriving community for everyone. Our intent is to affirm and foster the human dignity in every person we encounter.
We acknowledge that we can only be successful if we recognize and support opportunities for leaders from underrepresented communities. We welcome the talent, commitment, and engagement of all people as we strive to build community.
We can only thrive as a community when all individuals reach their fullest potential. Further, we commit to intentionally creating pathways for inclusion in decision-making and responsible leadership within our own and other organizations.
