United Way of Salt Lake exists to help each person in our region achieve their potential – specifically eliminating racial disparities in education, health, & economic outcomes. We do this by connecting Utahns with the services they need and building cross-sector partnerships capable of transforming the education, social and economic environments for kids and families. We do this through two broad partnerships – the Promise Partnership, and 211 Utah.
Our partnership structure is unique and a model for other communities - you can hover over the logos and icons below to learn more about how our programs and initiatives are aligned to create lasting change in our communities.
We learn from, and with, our many local partners.
