What is Community Impact?

United Way of Thurston County's Community Impact model emphasizes a community-level approach to improving lives. Community impact begins with mobilizing the community -- not just the financial resources of businesses and employees, but people, time, talent, relationships, expertise and technology to create lasting community changes that improves lives of community populations -- and not just program clients.
