Go Further
Our work starts with data — but it only moves forward because of you. Every donation fuels the strategy, partnerships, and programs that make a measurable difference in the Treasure Valley.
Four Pillars
of Impact:
Pillar #1
HEALTHY
COMMUNITIES
Health is about more than doctor visits; it's about access and trust. Many in the Treasure Valley face preventable illnesses and mental health challenges. We support organizations like Genesis Community Health, which provides free medical services, and the Women’s & Children’s Alliance, offering safety for domestic violence survivors. Our goal is to enhance community health through prevention and care.
Pillar #2
Youth
Opportunity
Young people thrive with support, but many families face barriers like childcare gaps. We invest in programs like Giraffe Laugh and the Treasure Valley YMCA for early education and childcare. Our support for Big Brothers Big Sisters fosters mentoring relationships, contributing to a comprehensive vision for youth development.
Pillar #3
Financial
Security
In Idaho, even full-time workers can struggle financially. Our focus is on helping ALICE families build resilience. We partner with organizations like Life’s Kitchen for job readiness and Jesse Tree for rental assistance, ensuring families have the support they need to thrive.
Pillar #4
Community
Resiliency
In times of crisis, families need quick solutions. United Way of Treasure Valley responds to urgent needs and prepares communities for the future. We manage findhelpidaho.org to connect individuals with resources and collaborate with partners to ensure effective disaster response and recovery.

How We Drive Impact
Every investment we make follows a thoughtful process. We prioritize impactful work in the right places at the right times, using local data to align partners and direct resources effectively.
Data
insights
We start by understanding our community's needs through evidence-based data. This helps us see what families face, from financial struggles to health access, guiding our decisions effectively.
Community Focus
Using this data, we bring together partners to tackle root causes. Our work follows the Collective Impact Framework, focusing on shared goals and coordinated actions for lasting change.
Invest in what works
Our Community Investment process directs funds to impactful local programs. Each grant is evaluated by our Vision Council, ensuring diversity and relevance. In FY2024, we allocated $715,000 to 31 programs across 28 organizations , all within the Treasure Valley.
