At United Way of Acadiana, we mobilize our community to action so all can thrive, and we’ve been doing this in Acadiana for over 75 years. From strengthening local resilience to advancing health, youth opportunity, and financial security, we’re working toward a future where every person across Acadiana can reach their full potential.

How do we do this?

We invest resources into our community through targeted relief and funding to other nonprofits and educators. We build and operate signature programs that meet critical needs, fill service gaps, and pilot innovative approaches that lift individuals and families from crises to stability. And finally, we mobilize community voices, donors, volunteers, and partners around shared goals to make a stronger impact, together, than any one organization can achieve alone.
