United
Way of Santa Fe County has supported health and human
services in our community since 1945. Until 2002, we operated
as a traditional United Way agency, raising funds that
we then distributed to member and affiliate agencies.
We also piloted many of United Way of America’s
most progressive work.
We’ve always had an independent
streak. In 2002, we decided we could effect more meaningful
changes in Santa Fe County as a Community Investment organization.
So we adopted our Community
Priorities Plan, began focusing on outcomes and implemented
a new funding process. We added education to our health
and human services priorities. And a 2004 federal grant
for early literacy established UWSFC as an innovator in
early-childhood issues.
We’re still affiliated with United Way of America,
and now we’re making a bigger investment in our
community. Recently, we’ve enacted our own initiatives:
211 Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Children's Project.
