We empower donors, volunteers, businesses, nonprofits, and community groups to invest in neighbors to improve quality of life for everyone in Clallam County. Working together, we identify the community’s most critical needs in the following focus areas and implement collaborative, innovative solutions to improve lives in our region.
- Healthy Community - Improving health and wellbeing for all
- Financial Security - Creating a stronger financial future for every generation
- Youth Opportunity - Helping young people realize their full potential
A Focus on Impact
After nearly a year of work on our strategic plan, we are ready to share an important evolution in our journey. Last year, we conducted a survey to learn what the community sees as the most pressing issues facing Clallam County. United Way’s Board of Directors compared the information we gathered to the work of our funded partners as well as several other factors. The result is a transition to a more strategic funding model, prioritizing fewer but more impactful investments. Starting in the 2025–2026 grant year, we will shift from supporting 23 partner agencies to awarding 10 to 15 high-impact grants. We didn’t make these decisions lightly and believe this change will build a more sustainable, responsive, and impact-driven funding model.
Our Partnerships
Our partners now fall into one of the following groups: Impact Partners, Collaborative Partners, and Community Partners. Click on the tabs below to learn more:
Impact Partners
Impact partners work directly within our three impact areas of Healthy Community, Financial Security, and Youth Opportunity. Each of these organizations has been carefully vetted and chosen because their work aligns with our mission to help everyone live safe, healthy, and productive lives.

We support them because we know that through them, our donors' dollars are making the biggest possible impact here in Clallam County.
