Job Description

UWCCR Company Information

Established in 1923, United Way California Capital Region has steadfastly supported the Sacramento community, fostering transformative change for nearly a century. Serving the counties of Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo, our mission is to end poverty in the capital region. Our strategy is threefold: helping kids excel in school, investing in children and families, and strengthening local schools. We believe in beginning at Square One: Helping every family succeed so their community can too.

Our approach to the services we provide is holistic and grounded in a public health model, starting at birth, providing children with monthly books up to age 5, and helping foster youth with savings accounts as they transition to adulthood. Recognizing that children's needs extend beyond the classroom, we address immediate basic needs as well like hunger and housing. This is why we provide housing supportive services, including housing navigation and sustainability, under the CalAIM program, further alleviating family economic pressures.

We proudly pioneered the first guaranteed income program in Sacramento and oversee the largest free tax preparation initiative across our counties. Moreover, our involvement spans various school districts, offering case management for K-8 foster youth and spearheading the Community Schools initiative in West Sacramento, catering to 7,000 children.

Recently, United Way California Capital Region received prestigious recognitions: the 2023 Sacramento Black Chamber of Commerce Non-Profit of the Year, the 2023 Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce Centennial Business Hall of Fame Award, and our CEO was named one of the 2024 Most Admired CEOs by the Sacramento Business Journal. These honors reflect our ongoing efforts and commitment to the community, underscoring our role in fostering a healthier, more prosperous region.

At United Way’s core is the philosophy that families possess the blueprint for their prosperity. We stand alongside them, offering resources to help them realize their potential. This inclusive approach, spanning from our staff to our initiatives, epitomizes our commitment: to ensure every family, and thereby every community, thrives.
