Started in 2008, PACT United is a competitive, community-wide initiative focused on supporting community partnerships that are aligned with United Way of Acadiana’s focus on bettering Acadiana. United Way of Acadiana’s goals for Acadiana are creating a Healthy Community, providing Opportunities for Acadiana’s Youth, and ensuring families in the region have Financial Security. By focusing on supporting these needs, United Way, and their PACT partners, are collectively creating a Resilient Community; a vision we all have for our Acadiana.
PACT United grants are focused on supporting organizations who are positively impacting our community. We are excited to invest in these organizations and to support their programs through enrichment opportunities, volunteer mobilization, and connections that will lay the foundation for future community growth.
But we know the work isn’t done. Together, we can make great things happen. LIVE UNITED.
