About Us » Leadership » Vision Councils

United Way’s Vision Councils are made up of Treasure Valley community volunteers and carry out the work of the United Way of Treasure Valley within the areas of Education, Financial Independence and Health. Each Vision Council develops objectives and strategies to address target issues, identifies needed revenue, and makes funding recommendations to the Board of Directors for program grants, projects and partnerships.

 

Vision Councils meet year-round to stay informed of the needs in the community and to monitor progress towards identified objectives in alignment with United Way of Treasure Valley’s goals and the community’s needs.
