United Way Bay Area (UWBA) operates in 8 Bay Area counties and is located in San Francisco and San Jose. We unite individuals, nonprofits, businesses, and government partners to fight for the education, basic needs, and financial stability of each and every person in the Bay Area.
United Way Bay Area mobilizes one-time volunteers, pro-bono employees, corporate and civic groups and skills-based individuals to create lasting change for our programs and clients. Through our powerful coalitions and dynamic internal programs, we are uniquely positioned to connect different sectors to ending the cycle of poverty. We leverage the interests and skills of our volunteers to meet the needs of our clients.
