United Way of Salt Lake (UWSL) has made a commitment to the community to dramatically improve outcomes for every child in our region.  We believe that if nonprofits, schools, post-secondary institutions, businesses, government, philanthropies, and community members can align their resources toward the same goals, we can eliminate disparities and ensure that every child achieves their goals.
