Vision statement
“We envision a region where all people have access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.”
Mission statement
“We mobilize people, partnerships, and resources to catalyze change that strengthens the communities we serve.”
Values
Empathy
We show great care towards the diverse communities we serve. We believe in the inherent value of all people, and we strive to ensure a sense of belonging for everyone.
Integrity
We conduct our relationships openly, honestly, and fairly where commitments are honored, and the spirit of generosity can be nurtured.
Agility
We embrace and adapt to the changing needs of our communities.
Strategy
To fulfill our mission United Way of Greater New Bedford’s work will:
- Sustain our vital role as the leading provider of immediate support to households in crisis
- Grow our work to put households on pathways for long-term success
- Expand efforts to convene and connect leaders and partners on the fundamental social issues facing our region
We’ll do this by leveraging our experience and capacity to approach our work comprehensively, capitalizing on our role as an essential service provider, funder, convener and community leader.
