The mission of the United Way of Gloucester County is to be the leader in building community capacity to foster individual well being.
United Way of Gloucester County shows a steady pattern of annual operating support for local nonprofits serving Gloucester County residents. Its largest recent award in the data is $52,500 to Glassboro Child Development for program operations, and that same recipient appears again in 2023 with a $50,000 grant. Other repeated awards point to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts, including Hollydell Inc. and the Center for People in Transition, each funded in both 2023 and 2025. The foundation also supports agencies serving children, families, education, and basic needs through grants to organizations such as Fam Care, the Arc of Gloucester, and Volunteers of America. The grant list suggests a focus on keeping local service providers staffed and functioning. Program operations is the dominant stated use across the recent grants, and several awards are repeated across years at similar levels, including $30,000 to Literacy Volunteers Of in 2023 and 2025, and $15,000 to the YMCA in both years. Smaller awards also appear through a mini-grant line, showing that the foundation uses both larger annual agency grants and smaller community grants. Together, the records portray a funder centered on sustaining direct services in Gloucester County rather than isolated project funding.
Education appears in multiple grants tied to literacy, child development, and scholarships. The foundation gave $30,000 to Literacy Volunteers Of in 2025 for program operations, and it also awarded $52,500 to Glassboro Child Development for program operations in 2025. Separate scholarship support is administered through UWGC & Women United Scholarships for students attending Rowan College of South Jersey. Youth and family services are another visible thread. The foundation awarded $35,000 to Hollydell Inc. in 2025 and $24,500 to Fam Care in 2025, both for program operations. In community support work, it gave $30,000 to Center for People in Transition in 2025 and $25,000 to the Arc of Gloucester in 2025, again for program operations. Basic-needs and health-related support also appears through $8,000 to Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice in 2025.
Recent grants cluster around a middle range: the 25th percentile is $9,812, the median is $17,860, and the 75th percentile is $30,000. The list also includes awards above that upper quartile, such as $52,500 and $35,000, alongside smaller mini-grants under $1,000 through a separate program. The record shows recurring support across multiple years for several recipients, including Glassboro Child Development, Hollydell Inc., the Center for People in Transition, Literacy Volunteers Of, the YMCA, and Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice. The foundation funds program operations and operating support, and its application processes are described as annual and unsolicited for several grant programs.
