About Us

Welcome to the United Way of Defiance County!

The United Way of Defiance County has been serving our community since 1955. We are a 501c3 non-profit, governed by a local board of engaged volunteers. In essence, the United Way of Defiance county works to develop community resources, and then invest those resources in a comprehensive way back into the Defiance community. It is what we do. It is through our community investment process that we seek to create positive change in our communities.

It is our mission to bring together the people and resources of Defiance County to improve lives and create a lasting community impact. We know we cannot succeed alone, and that it will take a community effort to affect change in the human condition. Therefore, our values are centered on three tenets: We must engage the community through volunteerism, we must treat all of the citizens and community partners with respect and integrity, and our work must be based around collaboration.

Welcome to the United Way of Defiance County's website! We hope you will spend some time here and take a look at our organization. We are proud of our work and excited about the future of our community.
