We Are One, 12 Ways You Can Be One
United Way Capital Area is proud to be a member of a new initiative "We Are One." Twelve Central Texas nonprofits, including United Way Capital Area, have joined forces to increase involvement and drive stronger support for their various missions.
The We Are One campaign demonstrates a new level of collaboration as the twelve organizations come together to speak as one voice, and address the important needs across the region as the economy continues to decline.
With the assistance of the good folks at Trew Marketing, the We Are One campaign was developed, complete with a web site, two videos, Facebook page and a call to action all geared to demonstrate that:
- We are better when we work together, Live United in action
- The nonprofit sector has many examples of the power of collaboration; and
- There are plenty of ways for anyone who wants to join the effort to do so - in fact, the campaign offers 12 ways!

How We Do the Work
We are holding ourselves more accountable to the community, to ensure that the funds invested in United Way are used to create real, long-term change. Through a research study by the Ray Marshal Center and with the help of countless community stakeholders, we've identified very specific, measurable outcomes we hope to achieve around key community issue areas: Education, Financial Stability, and Health.
