Our Mission

We believe in the power of uniting our community to bring about change.

For more than 80 years, Trident United Way has united our community to create access to opportunities for all our region?s residents to thrive. Together, with our Tri-County change-seekers, we're mobilizing a movement to lift up all our neighbors and colleagues to break the cycle of financial instability.

Our focus centers on ALICE® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households - families who make more than the Federal Poverty Level but don't earn enough to cover the rising costs of living. As ALICE households continue to grow, we're working on bold, community-rooted solutions to support families in getting ahead when it is harder today than ever before.

Our Mission

Trident United Way is uniting the Tri-County to uplift families out of poverty.
