Monadnock United Way is dedicated to improving lives by mobilizing diverse partners and investing in programs and people to create lasting, measurable change. MUW envisions a United community where all are cared for and thriving. Founded in 1952, the Monadnock United Way is an autonomous and independent organization governed by a Board of community members. Our accountability is to our local donors and volunteers. Although the Monadnock United Way is best known for conducting an annual campaign which provides funding for needed services to people in the region, community building represents an equally major effort. Monadnock United Way collaborates with a variety of partners to help identify and address emerging issues and specific human service needs. These partners include social service providers, foundations, local government, education and the medical community.
