Kaua’i United
Way has served as our island's umbrella charitable organization since
1943. We raise funds primarily at
people's places of employment, where we educate people about the need for and
availability of social service programs on our island as well as the importance
of getting involved. Our volunteers carefully
review the social service needs of our island annually and allocate funding
where it is most needed in our whole community. This allows us to maintain funding for
on-going needs but also the flexibility to address emerging issues, as
well. Throughout the year, our staff and
volunteers protect our donors' money by monitoring our agencies to ensure that
meaningful services continue to be made available to the people of Kaua’i. Without Kaua’i United Way, hundreds of
thousands of dollars for vital social services would go uncollected. Kaua’i United Way’s Participating
Agencies offer a
diverse array of dozens of social service programs that save lives daily and
help tens of thousands of Kaua’i people every year.
