Equitable, Engaged, Empowered Community 
 
While progress has been made in recent decades to advance the mission and the work of UWCI, there 
are existing barriers for every person in central Iowan to have the opportunity to thrive. For the last three 
years, United Way of Central Iowa’s work has been guided by its strategic imperative UNITED to THRIVE. 
UWCI has been exclusively driven by a shared vision of building all of its work and engagement with 
equity at the center. 
 
Focus on Equity 
 
UNITED to THRIVE emphasizes equity as a key component to inform intentional strategic and resource 
investment decisions. Investment decisions are made based on the advice and direction of volunteer 
advisors and community experts in the 5 Elements of a Thriving Community: Essential Needs, 
Early Childhood Success, Education Success, Economic Opportunity, and Health &amp; Well-
Being. For each of the five elements, UWCI has identified a dashboard of metrics and measures, which 
are used to set goals, measure impact, and track progress over time. 
 
Through initiatives that extend UNITED to 
THRIVE's reach into specific communities, 
United Way is showing up - to collaborate, 
dialogue and build trust. UNITED to 
THRIVE also serves as a framework for 
targeted impact and a call to action to donors, 
volunteers, and advocates to unite to create a 
thriving community for everyone. 
 
Some of the ways UWCI plans to integrate 
equity into its work includes incorporating 
Equity Principles into the grantmaking process 
and diversifying its vendor and community 
partnerships. In addition, UWCI plans to 
collect, analyze and share data and stories 
about inequities in order to implement 
equitable solutions.
