2025 Funded Partners & Programs

JCUW's mission is to support programs and build systems that accelerate a healthy community, enhance youth opportunities, promote financial security, and foster community resiliency for Jackson County residents. We do this work with deep partnerships and collaborations. The funds raised from the annual campaign support 15 impact programs that focus on their respective parts of our mission. Every day, these organizations create hope for individuals and families in need through their partnership to advance lasting change in education, health, and financial stability. No single organization can accomplish this work alone. Our work to create a stronger community is challenging, comprehensive, and interwoven. We continue to create opportunities for collective impact, where all organizations work together to build a stronger community.

Jackson County United Way benefits annually from a fund administered by the Community Foundation of Jackson County. Your gifts to help grow the fund—and therefore the annual grants—may be made to the Jackson County United Fund Inc. Endowment. Gifts may take the form of a memorial for a loved one or friend. They can mark milestones in the lives of your family and friends. They can also be part of your estate planning, with earnings from your gifts to the fund or perhaps through an endowment you choose to establish, benefiting Jackson County United Way year after year. For information on how to donate now or through planned giving, Please Call Foundation President Dan Davis at 812-523-4483.
