About United Way of South Central Idaho

We fight for the health, education, and financial stability of each person in South Central Idaho

Learn More About Us

We've provided more than $2.1 million to impact Southern Idaho and Northern Nevada since 2020. Through careful research, United Way identifies the biggest local needs. To meet those needs, United Way brings together people and organizations with the passion, expertise and resources necessary to improve our community.

It's about change that's built to last for generations. We do this by:

  • Improving early education, so that every child is ready for school.
  • Helping people achieve financial stability and get working families on the road to economic stability.
  • Promoting healthy lives for children and adults through preventive action and access to care.
Our goals are ambitious, but with your help, and by utilizing our core strengths - a national network, committed partners and public engagement capacity - we can achieve them.
