Public Policy and Advocacy
It starts with the children.
Our targeted funds
Other United Way initiatives
In addition to our targeted funding opportunities, we also provide services through our main fund that target specific initiatives. These include free tax prep services through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), assistance with obtaining college funding through College Bound, and free early childhood education for parents and children through Learning Spaces. When you give to United Way, you are helping to support these services that promote equity across Greater Atlanta.

In United Way’s Public Policy Agenda – developed in partnership with Voices for Georgia’s Children – we lift up issues that address these adverse circumstances like expansion of school-based services that improve health and mental health; directing federal resources toward Career and Technical Education and subsequent employment opportunities; and improving consumer protections for renters, loan applicants, and those making use of subsidized housing.
