United Way of Southeast Minnesota

OUR MISSION

United Way of Southeast Minnesota responds to the greatest needs in our region by inspiring people to get involved, give back, and take action.

OUR VISION

We envision a resilient region defined by care and collective action where residents are healthy, households are financially secure, and young people succeed in school and life.

OUR VALUES

United Way of Southeast Minnesota mobilizes our community to action so all can thrive. Working together with our neighbors, we’re strengthening local resilience and advancing health, youth opportunity, and financial security for all. We fund programs that make a difference; provide free resources and referrals to anyone who may need them; and collaborate and convene with multiple sectors to address challenges. Together, we're creating a future where everyone, everywhere can reach their full potential.

INTEGRITY

We maintain and strengthen the trust of our customers (donors, partners and the community). We serve in all our actions. Our actions are honest and open in every regard.

EQUITY

We value the intentional inclusion of everyone in our community. We strive to dismantle systemic, institutional, and historical barriers based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and other identities so they no longer determine socioeconomic, education and health outcomes.

EXCELLENCE

Our efforts exceed our customers’ expectations. We lead our peers in every performance measure.

ACCOUNTABILITY

We establish and demonstrate with every opportunity the highest standards of stewardship.

LEADERSHIP

We participate in solving problems facing our community by mobilizing resources for collective action. Our leadership gives direction to the community in the pursuit of optimizing our community’s well-being.
