United Way Of Central Oregon

About United Way Of Central Oregon

United Way of Central Oregon fights for the health, education, financial stability, and resilience of every person in the region. As a local fundraiser and funder, it invests in Central Oregon nonprofits through community grants, convenes partners around issues like childhood trauma and basic needs, and runs initiatives such as Ride United transportation help and United Way CARES emergency funding. In 2025 it merged with United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, while its money raised here still stays here.

Volunteering looks like

Volunteers help United Way decide where community dollars go by serving on grant review and community impact panels, and support volunteer projects, drives, and events. Businesses and employers can engage their teams through workplace giving and group volunteer projects.
