Priority Focus Areas

If you give to the Community Fund, who decides where the money goes?

Volunteers decide. Each year, over 300 volunteers provide a rigorous, informed and onsite review for programs that seek United Way funding. Programs are examined for need, for efficiency and effectiveness, and for fiscal accountability. This process, unique to United Way, provides quality assurance on behalf of all donors.

If you give to the Community Fund, who does it benefit?

The Community Fund grants are divided into four Priority Focus Areas.

Helping Children and Families Succeed
Supporting services that promote a safe and nurturing environment for children and families.

Improving Health and Wellness
Improving access to physical and mental health care as key components in a productive community

Increasing Self-Sufficiency
Helping those challenged by birth and life events with support, resources and information to meet their immediate and long-term needs which will enable them to increase their independence and improve their quality of life.

Empowering Victims of Violence
Empowering both adult and child victims of violence by providing a multi-disciplinary, accessible, culturally appropriate service delivery system.

Family Advocacy Center

Part of Advocating in your community is creating long-term change. Your United Way helped create this change in partnership with the City of Albuquerque and fourteen onsite agency partners by opening the Albuquerque Family Advocacy Center. The Center is a safe, secure and caring environment that focuses on the needs of victims of interpersonal crime. The center is committed to providing victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault and their families with a safe setting to assist in addressing and overcoming the trauma of their experience and break the cycle of violence that destroys families.
