Mission

UNITED WAY OF WAYNE COUNTY IS A COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATION, WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO STRATEGICALLY ADDRESS MANY OF OUR COMMUNITY'S SOCIAL ISSUES. UNITED WAY OF WAYNE COUNTY INVESTED IN A NUMBER OF LOCAL PROGRAMS WITH SPECIFIC COMMUNITY GOALS AIMED TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF INDIVIDUALS, IMPROVE FUTURES FOR CHILDREN THROUGH SUCCESS IN EDUCATION, INCREASING PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO ATTAIN AND MAINTAIN FINANCIAL STABILITY AND RESPOND TO PERSONAL CRISES. UNITED WAY OF WAYNE COUNTY PARTNERS WITH LOCAL NON-PROFITS, WHICH ALIGN WITH ITS STRATEGIC GOALS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR INDIVIDUALS.

  • SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE O THE MISSION STATEMENT OF UNITED WAY OF WAYNE COUNTY IS TO BRING PEOPLE AND RESOURCES TOGETHER TO IMPROVE LIVES IN WAYNE COUNTY. FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS, UNITED WAY OF WAYNE COUNTY (UWWC) HAS ENGAGED THE COMMUNITY TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF MANY SOCIAL ISSUES. IN 2015, UNITED WAY OF WAYNE COUNTY REALIZED THE CHALLENGES TO HEALTHY CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND PLACED MORE EMPHASIS WITHIN ITS FOUR FOCUS AREAS OF EDUCATION; HEALTH & WELLNESS; FINANCIAL STABILITY, AND COMMUNITY RESPONSIVENESS ON EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT FOR AGES 0-10 TO HELP PREPARE CHILDREN TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL AND LIFE. IN 2020, WITH ALL THE CHALLENGES OF A PANDEMIC, THE UWWC PARTNERED WITH THE WAYNE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND CURAMERICA BY HIRING DOZENS OF COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE WORKERS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IN SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY NEEDS. IN 2022, ON THE HEELS OF MULTIPLE YEARS OF DECLINE IN EMPLOYEE CAMPAIGNS, AND MOVING THROUGH A PANDEMIC, THE UNITED WAY OF WAYNE COUNTY BOARD AND STAFF, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER UNITED WAY AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BEGAN TO SEEK OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND REMAIN RELEVANT. IN 2023, STAFF BEGAN INVESTIGATING THE SUCCESS OF OTHER UNITED WAYS MOVING TO AN ISSUE FOCUS. THE TRANSFORMATION WOULD ALLOW UNITED WAY OF WAYNE COUNTY TO DIVERSIFY THEIR FUNDING AND CHANGE THE NARRATIVE. IN 2023, UWWC ALSO BEGAN THEIR FIRST DIRECT SERVICE PROGRAM, UCAN, UNITED COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE NETWORK, ALLOWING US TO UTILIZE THE EXPERIENCE IN CASE WORK AND SERVE A GAP IN BASIC NEEDS. IN 2024, UWWC OFFICIALLY BEGAN THE ISSUE FOCUS TRANSFORMATION AND IN 2025, THANKS TO INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY, CHOSE POVERTY AS THE ISSUE WITH FINANCIAL STABILITY AS A GOAL. THIS THREE-YEAR PROCESS GRADUALLY REDUCES GRANTING FUNDS TO OTHER AGENCIES WHILE EDUCATING THEM ON OUR PROCESS. AS WE START 2026, WE ARE CENTERED IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR ISSUE FOCUS AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY GRANTS WHILE PREPARING 100% FOR THE ISSUE FOCUS IN THE FUTURE. IN DOING SO, WE ARE HOLDING MULTIPLE ISSUE FOCUS SUMMITS AND SEEKING ROOT CAUSES WE WILL CHOOSE TO IMPACT AS A COMMUNITY. RECOGNIZING WE CANNOT LEAD IN EVERY CAUSE, WE ARE SEEKING OTHER LEADERS TO WALK THROUGH THE JOURNEY WITH US. THE CONVENINGS ARE ALLOWING US TO UNDERSTAND THE LEADERSHIP IN SOME ROOT CAUSES AND GAPS IN OTHERS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
