Community Care Fund investments focus on the root of the problems we address to make long-term, systemic change. Through the Community Care Fund, United Way looks to a continuum of programs that will assist the community in achieving its goals. In Sacramento County, over 30 programs are funded through Community Care Fund. The Community Care Fund supports programs that utilize a number of effective focuses. Each of these programs employs at least one of the focus areas to create a stronger, healthier community.
Children enter school ready to learn.
For too many children, this is too late. We also support affordable quality childcare for working parents. In addition, we assist efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect, so children can grow up in a healthy nurturing environment. We fund a variety of positive child development and family support services so our children can enter school ready to learn and be successful. Children develop in order to achieve life s goals.
