Programs
Community services and funding: community needs & uwgpc allocation of resources to community partners allocations are at the heart of the united way mission. Each year, our united way relies on significant financial contributions from companies, foundations, and individuals in our community to support the life-saving work of our community partners. In addition to financial resources, our allocation process also relies on our community's "human" resources, our incredible united way volunteers. This year we were fortunate to have forty-six talented and insightful individuals volunteer for our twelve united way allocation teams. The allocations process is a demanding one requiring time and focus, but our volunteers responded to the task and found it rewarding.

Both are funded by the massachusetts department of children & families. The family resource center (frc) aka "the family center" provides a single point of entry for family members to access family support services. Any family member will be able to walk into the frc and receive assistance with any human services related issue. If services cannot be provided to a family member onsite at the frc, frc staff will provide information and referral to a network of service providers affiliated with the frc.

This includes providing evidence-based and evidence-informed parenting programs and an array of direct services for families in times of need or transition. The family center tracks how services provided by the frc generate positive outcomes for family members in five areas (health, safety, skills, civic engagement, and relationships), in addition to specific outputs and outcomes developed together by the contractor, eohhs, dcf, and the administrative service organization…

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $2.5M to $2.2M (−13%).
