Thanks to the generosity of our donors throughout the North Penn and Indian Valley community, our United Way is able to invest in 23 promising programs intended to make a measurable difference in the lives of local residents - more Students Succeeding in School, more Older Adults Independent and Community-Connected as Possible, and a Strong Safety Net for People in Crisis. The annual program investments approved by the NPUW Board of Directors for fiscal years 2012-2015 are listed below under the Community Goal with which they are aligned.
