United Way of Richmond County History


Column

In 1887, a Denver priest, two ministers, and a rabbi recognized the need for cooperative action to address their city's welfare problems. These four gentlemen put their heads together to plan for the first United Campaign for 10 health and welfare agencies. They created an organization to serve as an agent to collect funds for charities, as well as to coordinate relief services and counseling, refer clients to cooperating agencies, and make emergency assistance grants in cases that could not be referred.
 
That year, Denver raised $21,700 and created a movement that would spread throughout the country to become the United Way. Over 120 years later, the United Way is still focused on mobilizing our communities' caring power and making a difference in people's lives.

Column

There are around 1,300 community-based United Way organizations throughout the United States.

 

In 1965, a group of local leaders came together and started the Greater Rockingham Charities. The goal was set at $28,000. In 1970, the name was changed to United Fund, and in the 1980s, it was changed once again to what we know today as the United Way of Richmond County.

 

The United Way of Richmond County is a local nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer board of 12 directors.
