We are counting on you to help us all Live United! Please give generously TODAY!

OUR STORY

For 99 years, United Way of Greater Newark has been a powerful force that connects and empowers local organizations to do what they do best - serve the community. We direct and support initiatives in three major impact areas - Health, Education and Financial Stability.

UWGN has served our community by:
- Helping 27,000 people receive COVID-19 vaccinations through our Newark Equitable Vaccine Initiative
- Helped over 1,000 youth receive COVID-19 vaccinations through Youth Newark Equitable Vaccine Initiative
- Awarded 134 small business grants to small businesses in Newark to provide financial support during COVID-19
- Distributed over 95,000 bags of groceries through our Newark Equitable Vaccine Initiative network
- Invested over $370,000 across nine organizations to provide Mental Health First Aid assistance, training and outlets for youth, families and community members.
- Gave out 240,000 books to students in 35 Newark Public Schools - We are expanding to every traditional Newark Public School this year.
- Provided tax assistance preparation to 5,359 individuals and families which put $11.5 million that went directly back into the community

United Way of Greater Newark is always there in times of crisis and has a long history of managing disaster funding. We were at the forefront of providing support to impacted families through our 9/11 Fund, the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund, and the Newark Water Fund. We established a Community COVID-19 Fund in 2020 and continue to provide support to the community and its non-profit partners as they recover from the ongoing economic and health impacts of the COVID pandemic and seek to rebuild.
