Volunteer Advisory Teams

United Way of Racine County is committed to improving the health, education, financial stability and access to basic needs of every person in our community. Our volunteer-driven community investment process is designed to fund programs that are clearly aligned with United Way’s target outcomes in the area of health, education, financial stability and basic needs.

Our Volunteer Advisory Teams (VATs) lead the process by evaluating program proposals, making funding recommendations and reviewing data to monitor program outcomes.
