United Way improves lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good. Locally, we allocate funds to 15 different Partner Agencies and offer 9 different programs through the United Way of Knox County.

All of this is done in collaboration with diverse partners. Depending on the issue and how the community chooses to address it, United Ways work with schools, government agencies, businesses, organized labor, financial institutions, community development corporations, voluntary and neighborhood associations, the religious community, and others.
