United Way of Story County is pleased to share its 2030 Community Impact Agenda, a bold roadmap designed to address critical local needs and improve lives across the county.
Shaped by data and informed by community voices, the 2030 Community Impact Agenda sets clear goals in three priority areas: Bright Futures, Financial Empowerment, and Collective Well-Being. Together, these goals will help close gaps in key areas such as third grade reading proficiency, access to affordable and quality childcare, homelessness prevention and housing navigation, financial education and coaching, access to basic needs, and mental health support.
United Way of Story County creates lasting change through three key impact areas—Bright Futures, Financial Empowerment, and Collective Well-Being—ensuring children succeed, families build stability, and our community thrives together.
Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive right from the start. When they do, it creates a wave of opportunity that strengthens families and lifts our whole community!
That’s why UWSC is going all-in on expanding early childhood opportunities across the county. Here is how we are creating bright futures:

Financial stability helps families move from surviving to thriving, but many lack access to the tools to get there. Here is how we are building financial empowerment across the county:
Strong communities are built when people feel connected and cared for. Our Collective Well-Being work makes sure everyone has safe places, healthy food, and chances to be part of something bigger.
When people feel supported and included, our community becomes safer, healthier, and full of opportunity for all. Here is how we are working to achieve collective well-being:
Community issues are connected, and we can’t solve them alone. That’s why we’re committed to tackling these challenges with our partner agencies, local experts, businesses, and volunteers.
