UWH is the Heart of Hastings
We help create a thriving community by:
1. Collective Impact
We match the efforts of people and organizations in the Hastings area to work collectively on issues affecting child, family, and community well-being. Through our allocations process, we direct dollars to other nonprofits who provide direct services.
2. Investment Priorities
We establish investment priorities for internal initiatives and invest your donations where we can address those issues with the greatest possible impact.
3. Serving Our Community
We work with volunteers to set the direction of UWH and provide service throughout our community.
