Overview

Mission

United way of southeast Alaska was organized for the purpose of assessing, on a continuing basis, the need for health and social service programs; to seek solutions to human problems, to assist in the development of united way member agencies; to promote preventive activities; and to foster cooperation among local, state, and national agencies serving the community. In fulfilling these programs, united way receives and distributes both private and public pledges in accordance with donor wishes through three different fundraising campaigns: the private campaign, share (state of Alaska) campaign and the combined federal campaign. The private campaign is administered by united way of southeast Alaska who is responsible for managing the fundraising drives, and collecting and disbursing all money received from the annual campaigns. The share campaign is administered by united way of anchorage but uwseak is responsible for disbursing all promises to give per the donor's designation.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our primary program is to service the approximately thirty-three human service agencies under our united way umbrella through conducting fundraising and awareness campaigns and coordinating agency efforts and resources.
