About Us

United Way of Connecticut is the state association for the 22 independent United Ways in the State. As a professional association, we support Connecticut’s local United Ways in their work to improve life in each of their towns and communities. At the State level, United Way of Connecticut parallels the local work of individual United Ways by partnering with other groups to maximize the quality of human services. The most direct way we do that is through the management and operation of a statewide help-by-telephone service called 2-1-1.

Mission
The mission of the United Way of Connecticut is to help meet the needs of Connecticut residents by providing information, education and connection to services.

Vision
That everyone in Connecticut will know where to turn first to connect to community and social services.
