United Way of Ulster County plays a unique role in our community by effectively targeting funding to high quality programs that meet identified needs. We do this by:

assessments including focus groups, community
forums, key informant interviews, and individual
surveys.

* Determining what programs best address id

entified
needs through a rigorous and competitive grant
process that requires grantees to have measurable
objectives, a plan for program evaluation and proof
of program impact.

* Evaluating programs through in-depth interviews
with program staff, observation of programs in
action, and review of program documentation.

HVG EXTENDED DEADLINE

Hudson Valley Gives 2026 is a wrap (kinda), and we are deeply grateful

It's programs funded, families supported, and a community that showed up for each other.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and championed this effort. We’ll see you next year.

If you missed your chance to donate, you can still contribute at the link in comments/bio for a little while longer, thanks to an EXTENDED DEADLINE of 24 hours! We stand by "better late than never."

Today only. 24 hours. Real impact.

Ulster County’s homelessness rate is the highest in the Mid-Hudson Valley. Emergency housing costs have ballooned 248% since 2020. United Way of Ulster County helps catch families before they fall.

Every dollar you give today helps a neighboring family in crisis find stability. And with matching grants and challenge awards, your donation goes even further today.

Donate now at our link in our bio!

Tomorrow, May 20th, Ulster County shows up for its neighbors.

James couldn't get to work because his car broke down. One missed week of shifts away from falling behind on rent.

Maria got her hours cut. An eviction notice followed. Her kids didn't know they might lose their home.

David received a shutoff notice as winter approached. Without power, there would have been no heat.

All three reached out for help. All three were connected to United Way of Ulster County's HELPS program. All three got back on their feet.

These aren't isolated cases. Nearly 4 in 10 households in Ulster County can't afford basic needs right now — and that number is growing. When a family hits a wall, the gap between crisis and stability is often just one phone call, one grant, one act of community.

Tomorrow is Hudson Valley Gives — a 24-hour regional giving event where every dollar donated to United Way of Ulster County goes directly to programs like HELPS and our free VITA tax preparation service.

If you've ever wondered whether a donation actually makes a difference, James, Maria, and David are your answer.

Give tomorrow at the link in bio.
