About Us

United Way of Baldwin County is a partner for change - identifying and resolving pressing community issues.

In communities across America, 1,350 United Ways improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of their communities. More than fundraisers, United Ways are partners in change, working with a broad range of people and organizations to identify and resolve pressing community issues.

United Way of Baldwin County traces its roots and first fundraising campaign to 1968. Originally two organizations, in 2007, South Baldwin United Way and North Baldwin United Way merged to form United Way of Baldwin County. We provide support for 30 nonprofit health and human service agencies serving residents in all of Baldwin County. Donations to United Way of Baldwin County stay here in the community helping friends and neighbors.
