Salina Area United Way

Goal: $8,000.00

Specific Need

The Salina Area United Way fights for the Health, Education, and Financial Stability of every person in our community.  All money raised during 2024 Match Madness will go towards our 2023-2024 Campaign goal of $600,000 and Salina Area United Way's new childcare initiative, the Early Chilcare Initiative Fund, to start making strong and lasting steps in combating the childcare issue and shortages due to workforce in Saline County. 

Mission

To Strengthen Our Community through health, education, and financial stability.

Profile

Join us in our goal of Strengthening Our Community! 

Dollars raised throughout the year from Salina Area United Way's 2023-2024 Campaign go towards the missions and work of our thirteen incredible Funded Partners in the community. Any donation amount makes a huge immediate impact for these organizations!

When you give to Salina Area United Way during Match Madness, your dollars will ALSO impact our Early Childcare Initiative Fund, which was started and opened in April of 2023 to combat the ongoing childcare issues and shortages in our community. Through this fund at United Way, local centers will be able to apply on an annual basis for wage supplement grants, to bring Assistant Teachers to $15/hr. and Lead Teachers to $18/hr. Currently, nearly all childcare centers in Saline County, except for one, are paying $4 less than the wages listed above. Donations and dollars will ensure that local childcare teachers earn a living wage, helping to keep our centers fully staffed, which will in return open more childcare slots!
