United Way of Snohomish County is more than a fundraiser. We are funder, partner, convener, and catalyst for positive, lasting, community change. Our new CORE work brings together nonprofit, private, public, and family partners to fundamentally shift the conversation around poverty from a siloed system of services to a collaborative approach serving both children and the adults in their lives, together. We are the only organization in Snohomish County investing in and actively working alongside groups of partners called CORE Collaboratives, which seek to remove barriers that keep families trapped in poverty.
