Improving Lives Through UWGN's General Fund

Community Assessment
Periodically, United Way facilitates a process that provides a snapshot of our area's health. Health is defined broadly as a state of complete well being -- physical, social and mental -- and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The extensive use of data from original and secondary sources makes this assessment the only compendium of health and human care issues for our region.
Greater Nashua Measures Up
United Way's volunteers use the resultsof the Community Assessment as the basis for funding decisions, with programs that specifically address issues highlighted in the Community Assessment being favored. Non-profit agencies use the assessment in developing grant proposals and strategic plans, and community service clubs use it to help set priorities for annual projects.
