United Way of Greater Newark is proud to be a model of and a champion for diversity and inclusion. Our Board, staff, partners and volunteers reflect the cultures, ideas, views and values that comprise our 13-municipality network. For nearly 100 years, United Way of Greater Newark has been committed to supporting and improving the lives of our residents, working tirelessly to disrupt the cycle of poverty by convening, collaborating and investing in strategies that ensure equal opportunities and improve outcomes for children and families. Bringing diverse groups and individuals together has allowed us to collectively and more effectively address these issues. 

Today, diversity and inclusion remain core pillars of our work building robust and resilient communities across Greater Newark where citizens feel empowered to embrace their unique characteristics and celebrate what makes them who they are. It is only when we work together that we can create opportunities where everyone can thrive and LIVE UNITED.

This unprecedented year has shone a light on the racism, discrimination, violence, and xenophobia that have existed in our country for centuries and that members of our communities have had to face on a daily basis. At United Way of Greater Newark, we believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect – no matter their backgrounds, identities or the colors of their skin. Now more than ever, we are steadfast in our commitment to make the communities across our 13-municipality network more just, inclusive, and fair places to live.

When we all come together with dignity, love, and respect, we are all able to thrive and LIVE UNITED.
