UNITED WE THRIVE
At United Way Santa Cruz County, our mission is to ignite our community to give, advocate, and volunteer so that all youth succeed in school and life, families are financially stable, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Through our two core initiatives—United4Youth and United4Community—we tackle the most pressing needs in our region:
United4Youth invests in programs that support youth mental health, civic engagement, leadership development, and safer spaces for youth across Santa Cruz County. Programs include:
- United4Community ensures access to essential resources such as food, housing, healthcare, and emergency response through services like:
- 211 Santa Cruz County – a 24/7 information and referral service connecting people to local resources, especially during times of crisis like wildfires, floods, and pandemics.
- Free Tax Preparation Services
- The development of our Closed Loop Referral System, helping families access coordinated care.
When you support our workplace giving, you’re helping create lasting change right here at home. You can give a one-time donation or set up recurring contributions directly through your payroll.
Additionally, you can amplify your impact by joining one of our Affinity Giving Circles:
- Women in Philanthropy (WIP) – A network of women leaders dedicated to creating opportunity for youth in Santa Cruz County. Join by giving $1,000/year.
- Emerging Leaders Circle (ELC) – A space for early to mid-career professionals to connect, serve, and lead through volunteerism and community action. Join by giving $10/month or $100/year.
Your donation—no matter the amount—makes a real difference.
Join us in building a stronger, more connected Santa Cruz County.
