United Way of Humphreys County

We are aiming to increase charitable giving, so that we can increase the funding we provide to our important partners. We are also creating partnerships with local entities to promote our four focus areas of education, health, income, and rebuilding lives. Within these partnerships, we are striving to improve our county and the lives of our residents, by making Humphreys County a better place to live.

Our number strategy for making this happen is education. By educating the Humphreys County community on what United Way's mission is, and how critical our partner agencies' services are, we can build awareness and keep our organization in the public's eye. It's also important to keep the young adult population engaged in the United Way cause. By creating leadership opportunities for this age group, we can increase the sustainability of our organization and funding for our partners.

Our organization has a great board of directors and great volunteers. These individuals support United Way and are eager to see us prosper and meet our goals. Relationship building, networking, and community involvement are key components to our organization's success.

United Way of Humphreys County has funded nonprofit agencies for over twenty years. We have also partnered with a local company (Scepter, Inc) to promote the Tennessee Scholars Initiative, by recognizing high school seniors that take on more rigorous coursework. Our annual "Stuff the Bus" event is a partnership with Coordinated School Health to collect school supplies. These supplies are given to students that are in need.

Our next step is to build upon what we've already accomplished and begin taking on more community impact projects. We will continue partnerships with local organizations/entities to strengthen our county. We will begin reaching out to certain populations that we have not yet built strong relationships with, such as smaller businesses and young adults.
