Financial Stability

 

Leading community efforts to improve financial outcomes for individuals and families in the Tri-County area.

Trident United Way recognizes that solving for the integration of two impact areas, Basic Needs and Income, can lead to better financial outcomes. Trident United Way initiatives begin with addressing basic needs of clients, followed by increasing basic skills, increasing income and savings, and finally, gaining and sustaining assets.

Through these initiatives, Trident United Way is able to partner with other local nonprofit agencies to improve financial outcomes.

While we work to address the root causes of important community issues, Trident United Way realizes that there are individuals in our region who need our support right now. Rarely are any of us prepared when a crisis hits.  But when a crisis does occur, Trident United Way is there, providing important resources to build connections to assistance those in need.
