United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey

On April 30, 2012, United Way of Atlantic County announced we have agreed to merge with six other local United Ways in the region to form United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey – one organization committed to improving lives and creating community-level change across the region.

While this United Way will continue to have local presence and impact in Atlantic County, collectively we will have the unique capacity to engage more donors, advocates, and volunteers to address pressing issues and critical needs related to education, income, and health in our local communities.

The process was led by a design team comprised of deeply dedicated staff and volunteer leaders from each United Way involved, who spent over eighteen months exploring this opportunity and working together to ensure our merger is positioned for long term success. 

The following local United Ways comprise United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey:

As United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, we will not be defined by a single issue or a single geographic area; our organization will be driven by the needs of the local communities it serves.  You can be sure we will continue to have local presence and impact, right here in Atlantic County. 

As part of this new organization, we are confident we will be even more effective in our local community and will continue to grow our presence.  Our office will continue in its current location and our dedicated staff and volunteers will continue to implement programs in Atlantic County.   

We hope you will join us in celebrating this momentous occasion.  As the new organization begins to take shape, we will provide ongoing updates via email, our social media platforms. Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions at 609-404-4483 or mgodleski@unitedwayac.org
