What United Way of Northeast Georgia Inc does
Mission
United way of northeast georgia (uwnega) envisions a region where every man, woman, and child has access to quality education, financial stability, and a healthy lifestyle. We work to motivate and mobilize resources to meet the highest priority needs of the individuals and families living in our 12-county region. Uwnega focuses on three pillars: basic needs, early childhood success, and workforce development. We do so by investing in impact through granting funds to programs of local nonprofits, providing resources like 211, and offering training and educational series to nonprofit leaders and organizations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $2.1M to $1.3M (−40%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2020 4% · 2021 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
