United Way of Southern Maryland is an independent non-profit serving the Southern Maryland region from its base in La Plata, Maryland. It is governed by local volunteers and operates with a small staff, focusing on addressing root causes of poverty rather than only alleviating immediate needs. The organization concentrates on education, income stability, and health as foundational areas for a better life, directing its programs and initiatives to advance progress in these domains. Its community-building work includes managing grants and designations for more than thirty partner agencies, mobilizing volunteers, connecting residents to resources and the 2-1-1, and guiding local advocacy through Impact Councils. In February 2026, United Way of the National Capital Area announced a merger with United Way of Southern Maryland, extending the shared footprint to fourteen jurisdictions across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
