United Way of the Columbia-Willamette is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon, serving the Columbia-Willamette region for nearly a century. It acts as a community coalition that brings together people, nonprofit organizations, businesses and government agencies to address poverty. The group focuses on improving outcomes for children and families, with emphasis on education, housing stability, and basic needs, recognizing that poverty affects the entire region. Through broad collaboration, it seeks to reduce poverty’s impact and to support kids’ ability to learn and grow. The organization relies on engaging volunteers to mobilize resources and support across the region. Its work targets early learning, keeping students on track to graduate, and ensuring families’ basic needs are met so children can focus on school. A recent development illustrates its collaborative role: a partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to provide free books for children under five in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties. The organization emphasizes community-wide involvement, connecting thousands of volunteers to initiatives that matter in the region.
