United Way of Central Illinois is a nonprofit organization based in Springfield, Illinois, that mobilizes community resources to support services aimed at helping children succeed in school, families maintain financial stability, and people live healthier lives. It describes its approach as protecting services vital to immediate basic needs while also investing in long-term outcomes in Education, Financial Stability, and Health—the building blocks of a good quality of life. Contributions are directed to programs that align with this strategy, balancing relief with investments that aim to sustain impact in the community. The organization engages the local community through events such as the Annual Campaign Celebration and the Dine United initiative, with plans to host a campaign event in March 2025 in Springfield. Leadership has included changes in recent years, with Marne Fauser appointed president and CEO in 2022 to guide its central Illinois efforts. In the past, United Way of Central Illinois partnered with other United Ways in Illinois and the Illinois Department of Human Services on the Healing Illinois initiative, reflecting its collaborative approach.
