What United Ways Do

Advancing the Common Good

United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania video on Advancing the Common Good, featuring Brian Gallagher (President & CEO - United Way of America)

FOR MANY MILLIONS OF HARD-WORKING FAMILIES, the basic ingredients for a good life are increasingly beyond reach. Almost one in four working parents don't earn enough to provide for their families. An alarming 25 percent of teenagers will not graduate on time, imperiling their chances to make a successful transition to adulthood. Only one in three adults can be considered healthy, based on risk factor data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and more than 49 million Americans lack even basic health insurance.

Our nation can't accept these conditions. We need to challenge our systems-to create opportunities for a better life for everyone. To move more aggressively in this direction, United Way drew on research and sought input from a broad range of partners to gauge where progress has-and has not-been made over the last 10 years.
