United Way of Nevada County (UWNC) partners with organizations that share our view that the way to improve lives is by mobilizing the caring power of communities. Their commitment to addressing Basic Needs, such as helping alleviate food insecurity, providing emergency shelter for families in crisis, and making access to health care a priority, among other things, is very important.

The United Way Brand
The use of the United Way brand is more than just a requirement of partnership; it is a mark of distinction that provides mutually beneficial results for both UWNC and the organizations within our Partner Network.
Our Partners are encouraged to utilize the United Way brand, which is one of the most recognized nonprofit brands in the world. The more we get the United Way of Nevada County name out in the community, the more people will identify the name with good work. That provides mutually beneficial results for both UWNC and the partners in our network. The “Community Partner” logo should be displayed and clearly visible.
