| Since 1904, United Way of Salt Lake has changed and evolved from a fundraising and fund-distribution organization to a results-driven organization that builds powerful partnerships to solve some of our most complex community issues—poverty, poor health, lagging educational achievement, among others. These partnerships are made up of community, business, religious, and nonprofit leaders in partnership with schools, teachers, parents and students and are focused in neighborhoods and communities with high needs and coordinated in schools and neighborhood centers where families and students can access services. This place-based collaborative approach is yielding results. Students in some of the poorest schools and communities are outperforming their higher income peers, parents are finding the help they need to better support their children, access to healthcare is improving and we have seen reductions in crime, among other results.
