United Way of Acadiana is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Lafayette, in the Acadiana region of Louisiana, focused on philanthropic fundraising services to advance community well-being. It centers on the building blocks of a good life—education, earnings, and essentials—aiming to improve school success, financial stability, and access to basic needs for residents. The organization serves multiple parishes—St. Martin, Lafayette, Acadia, Iberia, and Vermilion—working with schools, health providers, and community groups to create opportunity. Its mission is to unite people and organizations with expertise and resources to create more opportunities for a better life, reflecting a goal of broader community impact. The organization collaborates with local health systems to address community health needs, including joint assessments conducted with Ochsner Lafayette General and Our Lady of Lourdes. In 2026 it announced a Second Chance Tuesday Resource Fair to be held April 21 at the Goodwill Opportunity Campus, reflecting its active engagement with partners across law enforcement and faith communities.
