Community Initiatives
In order to build a better community, United Way of the Greater Seacoast is actively participating in a number of collaborative initiatives focused on our priority impact areas. We are a leading force for uniting businesses, service agencies and donors in cooperative efforts to develop proactive and innovative approaches to solving health and human service challenges facing our community.
Here are just a few examples of the local, regional and statewide coalitions that UWGS staff either lead or actively participate in:
Where coalitions don't already exist, we create them. United Way established the Partnership for Effective Early Learning (PEEL) so area childcare centers could identify opportunities to collaborate, including reducing operating costs by sharing services, in order to keep their focus on providing quality childcare instead of how to keep the doors open.
