Through research and engagement, it became clear that poverty is the fundamental issue in the region and the root cause of many of our social problems. This has led United Way to a bold vision to eradicate POVERTY. The aim of this plan is to present a compelling path forward toward a stronger, prosperous, and more equitable region. We want businesses and individuals to join us in developing strategies and partnerships. Together we can educate and empower people to help lift them out of poverty to create a stronger, better community.The Blueprint for Prosperity is our plan to move people out of poverty in our region and requires a change in the way our entire community approaches the issue creating pathways for prosperity for generations to come.Our Blueprint is driving our investments in the community to programs and collaborations focused on ending poverty; we are inspiring others to adopt our vision; informing others with data and innovative practices so they can accelerate their own impact; and initiating new collaborations where there are gaps.It is only through proactive collaboration that we can have the critical impact necessary to make our Blueprint for Prosperity a reality for all.
