United Way of Brevard County, Florida

United Way of Brevard County was started in 1957 by a group of concerned individuals who wanted to help those who were in need. They formed the Brevard County United Appeal and conducted their first county-wide fund drive in early spring of 1958. Over $104,000 was raised, and 12 agencies received funding that first year. Another campaign was conducted in the fall, raising $140,600 for the 1959 operating budgets of the 12 agencies.

In 1962, our name was changed to the United Fund of Brevard County and in 1971 to the United Way of Brevard County. As a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, we have been actively involved in this community's health and human service sector for last 55 years.

United Way of Brevard continually strives to be efficient and effective with your donations.  Our Finance committee meets quarterly to review our operations and internal controls, and we received a clean opinion on our annual audit.
